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.
Before quoting in Inverness we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Inverness range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Inverness we can price work such as swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Inverness
For the Highlands and Islands, where typical costs are a little below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
As a guide, a 41 m² drive in the IV1 area would be around £1,700–£2,650 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,850–£4,600 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin bound driveways | £40–£110 per m² |
| Driveway edging and borders | £25–£55 per linear metre |
| Resin bonded driveways | £35–£95 per m² |

Planning in Inverness
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The Highlands and Islands have short laying seasons and wet, exposed weather, so materials and timing are planned well ahead. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Inverness jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
