Resin over tarmac and concrete across Perth and Kinross
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.
Small cracks can be cut out and repaired, loose edges rebuilt and hollow spots filled before the resin goes down. Large failed areas, sinking, tree-root damage or a surface that rocks underfoot mean the base has to come out, and that is quoted as a new driveway instead.
In Perth we can price work such as swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden.
Prices in Perth and Kinross
For Tayside, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Resin over tarmac and concrete: £40–£60 per m².
For a 72 m² drive in Perth and Kinross: about £2,900–£4,500 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,800–£7,700 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Perth and Kinross
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
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
