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 Kilmarnock we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Kilmarnock range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Kilmarnock we can price work such as turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, 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 Kilmarnock
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
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
