Resin over tarmac and concrete across Glasgow
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.
Adding around 18 mm of resin raises the level of the drive, so the survey also checks door thresholds, damp-proof courses, airbricks and drainage channels. In most cases this is handled with edging details or by cutting back at the house.
Typical projects we can quote for in Glasgow include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage.
Prices in Glasgow
Guide prices for Glasgow are based on West of Scotland rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin over tarmac and concrete: £40–£60 per m².
As a guide, a 55 m² drive in the G area would be around £2,200–£3,450 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,650–£5,850 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Glasgow
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.
