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 Vale of Leven we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plots around Vale of Leven are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Vale of Leven include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Vale of Leven

Planning in Vale of Leven
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Dunbartonshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
