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 Greenock we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Greenock have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Greenock include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Greenock
Labour and material costs in the West of Scotland run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 54 m² drive in the PA14 area would be around £2,150–£3,350 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,600–£5,750 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Greenock
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 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.
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.
