Resin over tarmac and concrete across Angus and Dundee
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.
Small cracks can be cut out and repaired, loose edges rebuilt and hollow spots filled before the resin goes down. Large failed areas, sinking, tree-root damage or a surface that rocks underfoot mean the base has to come out, and that is quoted as a new driveway instead.
Across Angus and Dundee, the projects we price include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car.
Prices in Angus and Dundee
Guide prices for Angus and Dundee are based on Tayside rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin over tarmac and concrete: £40–£60 per m².
For a 54 m² drive in Angus and Dundee: about £2,150–£3,350 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £3,600–£5,750 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Angus and Dundee
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.
Weather and working days
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Angus and Dundee, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
