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.
In Greenwich, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Many homes in Greenwich have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Greenwich we can price work such as replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, 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).
Prices for new resin driveways (full dig-out) in Greenwich
Labour and material costs in London run well above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 47 m² drive in the SE3 area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £4,250–£6,750, including VAT.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| New resin driveways (full dig-out) | £90–£145 per m² |
| Resin bonded driveways | £40–£120 per m² |
| Driveway edging and borders | £30–£70 per linear metre |

Planning in Greenwich
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Greenwich jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
