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 Currie says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Currie are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Currie include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Currie
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
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Currie jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
