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 quote we prepare in Bathgate says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. In and around Bathgate, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across the Lothians, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Bathgate
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
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in the Lothians, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
