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.
In Montrose, 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. Around Montrose, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Montrose include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Montrose
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.
