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 Magherafelt says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Magherafelt, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Projects we quote in and around Magherafelt include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Magherafelt
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.
General information for Northern Ireland, not legal advice.
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 Magherafelt are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
