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 Beckenham says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Beckenham mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Beckenham we can price work such as turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

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