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.
Before quoting in Auchterarder we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plots around Auchterarder are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Perth and Kinross, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Auchterarder
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.
