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.
In Bathgate, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. In and around Bathgate, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Bathgate include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Bathgate
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
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
