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.
Any quote we prepare in Hawick says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Hawick, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across the Scottish Borders, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Hawick
Labour and material costs in the South of Scotland run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Worked example: a 54 m² drive in Hawick laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,150–£3,350. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £3,600–£5,750.

Planning in Hawick
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 South of Scotland mixes wet western hills with drier eastern lowlands, and frost is common in winter. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.

You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
