Resin bonded driveways across Glasgow
A resin bonded driveway is a solid base coated with a layer of resin onto which loose aggregate is scattered. The stones stick to the resin, giving a textured, gravel-like finish that is grippy underfoot. Unlike resin bound, it is not permeable.
Resin bonded is the scatter-coat system. The resin is rolled onto a solid, sound base, the aggregate is broadcast over it until it is fully covered, and once the resin has cured the excess stone is brushed off and reused.
Across Glasgow, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage.
Prices in Glasgow
For the West of Scotland, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Resin bonded driveways: £30–£90 per m².
Worked example: a 52 m² drive in Glasgow laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,600–£2,550. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £3,000–£4,650.
Planning in Glasgow
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply we suggest a quick check with your council's planning team before work starts.
Weather and working days
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
