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 Thurso we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Around Thurso, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across the Highlands and Islands, the projects we price include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Thurso
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.
Worked example: a 63 m² drive in Thurso laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,650–£4,100. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £4,400–£7,050.

Planning in Thurso
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
