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 Alloa says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Alloa are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across the Forth Valley, the projects we price include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Alloa
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Central Scotland gets steady rainfall through the year, so a permeable build and well-planned falls keep drives free of standing water. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Alloa jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
