What resin bonded driveways involve
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.
Before quoting in Coatbridge we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Coatbridge mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Lanarkshire, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Coatbridge
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Central Scotland gets steady rainfall through the year, so a permeable build and well-planned falls keep drives free of standing water. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Coatbridge jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
