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 Erskine we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Erskine, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, the projects we price include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Erskine
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
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
