What driveway extensions and widening involves
A driveway extension adds new hard-standing to an existing drive, usually by taking in part of the front garden, so more cars can park off the road. The new area needs its own excavation and base, and the whole drive is often resurfaced in resin so old and new match.
In Perth, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Many homes in Perth have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Perth we can price work such as turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Perth
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.
If cars will cross the pavement in a new place, or the crossing needs widening, consent is needed from your council as roads authority before any kerb work.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Perth jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
