Resin steps across the Lothians
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.
Projects we quote in and around Livingston include building a gentle ramp to a back door, laying a curving path through a back garden and laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool.
Prices in the Lothians

Planning in the Lothians
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 Livingston are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

Do I need planning permission in the Lothians?
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.
