New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Greater London
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.
Most resin driveway failures come from what is underneath, so a full dig-out is the safest route when the existing drive is block paving, gravel, broken tarmac, cracked concrete or lawn.
Across Greater London, the projects we price include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.
Prices in Greater London
Guide prices for Greater London are based on London rates, which are well above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
New resin driveways (full dig-out): £90–£145 per m².
As a guide, a 31 m² drive in the EC area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £2,800–£4,450, including VAT.
Planning in Greater London
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.
Weather and working days
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Greater London, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
