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.
Before quoting in Chester we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Chester has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Projects we quote in and around Chester include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Chester
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
