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.
Any quote we prepare in Arbroath says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Arbroath are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Arbroath include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, 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 over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Arbroath
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
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. Laying days in Arbroath are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
