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 South Benfleet says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in South Benfleet have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in South Benfleet include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in South Benfleet
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Laying days in South Benfleet are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
