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 Belfast we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Housing in Belfast ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and newer estates, and drive sizes vary just as much.
Projects we quote in and around Belfast include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Belfast
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Belfast jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
