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 Barnet says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Barnet have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Barnet we can price work such as replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Barnet
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
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
