Resin steps across Edinburgh
Resin steps are concrete or masonry steps finished with resin bound on the treads and, where wanted, the risers. A contrasting nosing on each step edge makes them easier to see and protects the resin from chipping.
Each tread is formed with a slight fall so water runs off, and the nosings are set first so the resin is trowelled up to a firm edge. In shaded spots an anti-slip additive is recommended.
Across Edinburgh, the projects we price include building a gentle ramp to a back door, laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool and finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings.

Planning in Edinburgh
Patios, paths and steps in a rear garden are generally permitted development for houses. Listed buildings, flats and raised platforms are the main exceptions, and any part that is in front of the house follows the front-garden drainage rules.
Weather and working days
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. Laying days in Queensferry are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

Resin steps in Edinburgh: questions
Is the price fixed for Edinburgh jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
Can you match a resin colour I have seen in Edinburgh?
Often, yes. Tell us where you saw it or show us a photo, and we will bring the closest blends to the survey to compare in daylight.
Can you lay resin in Edinburgh in winter?
On dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, yes. Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important.
