What resin bound driveways involve

A resin bound driveway is a surface of natural stone aggregate mixed with clear polyurethane resin and trowelled by hand to a depth of around 18 mm on driveways. Every stone is fully coated, so the finish is smooth, has no loose gravel, and lets rainwater drain straight through it.

Any resin job in Dunoon starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Around Dunoon, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.

Projects we quote in and around Dunoon include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bound driveways.

Prices for resin bound driveways in Dunoon

Guide prices for Dunoon are based on West of Scotland rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.

As a guide, a 42 m² drive in the PA23 area would be around £1,700–£2,600 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,800–£4,500 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Dunoon

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. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.

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.
