What resin over tarmac and concrete involves
A resin overlay is a resin bound surface laid directly on top of an existing tarmac or concrete driveway that is still sound. It is the cheapest way to get a resin drive because there is no dig-out, but it only works when the old surface is level, stable and free of active cracking.
Before quoting in Peterhead we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Peterhead, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Aberdeenshire, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Peterhead
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. An overlay on sealed tarmac or concrete does not drain through the old base, so the drive needs to fall towards a lawn, border or soakaway on your land, or the old base comes out for a permeable build.
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
North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
