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 resin job in Coulsdon starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Coulsdon mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Coulsdon include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Coulsdon
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Greater London, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
