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 Penicuik we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Around Penicuik, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Penicuik include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Penicuik
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
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.
