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 Ellesmere Port says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Ellesmere Port range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Ellesmere Port we can price work such as turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Ellesmere Port
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. Laying days in Ellesmere Port are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
