What resin steps involve
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.
Any quote we prepare in Colinton says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. In and around Colinton, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Edinburgh, the projects we price include laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool, finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings and replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio. More about resin steps.

Planning in Colinton
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Colinton jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
Resin steps in Colinton: questions
Do I need planning permission in Colinton?
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. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Is the price fixed for Colinton 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 Colinton?
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.
