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 Wishaw 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. Homes in Wishaw range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.

Across Lanarkshire, the projects we price include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Wishaw

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

Central Scotland gets steady rainfall through the year, so a permeable build and well-planned falls keep drives free of standing water. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.

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.
