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 resin job in Dundee starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Dundee, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
In Dundee we can price work such as building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in 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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Dundee jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
