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.
In Peebles, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. In and around Peebles, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Peebles we can price work such as swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Peebles
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. Laying days in Peebles are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
