Resin over tarmac and concrete across Moray
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.
Overlaying is where most resin driveway budgets start, and where the survey matters most. Tarmac needs to be at least a few years old and fully cured so it no longer moves in hot weather. Concrete needs to be free of moving cracks and lifting slabs.
Across Moray, the projects we price include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.
Prices in Moray
Labour and material costs in North East Scotland run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Resin over tarmac and concrete: £40–£60 per m².
As a guide, a 65 m² drive in the AB area would be around £2,600–£4,050 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £4,350–£6,950 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Moray
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
North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
