New resin driveways (full dig-out) across County Antrim
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.
For a permeable drive the base is built to let water through: a clean, open-graded stone sub-base under a porous asphalt binder, with the resin on top. Where the ground does not drain, the base can be built with drainage to a soakaway instead.
Across County Antrim, the projects we price include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build.

Labour and material costs in Northern Ireland run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.

Planning in County Antrim
Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply it is worth checking with your council's planning team before work starts.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. Laying days in Belfast are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
