What new resin driveways (full dig-out) involves
A new resin driveway starts from the ground up: the old surface and soft ground are dug out and taken away, a compacted stone sub-base and a binder course (usually porous asphalt or concrete) are laid, and the resin bound surface goes on top.
Any quote we prepare in Dunstable says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Dunstable have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Dunstable we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Dunstable
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Dunstable jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
