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.
Before quoting in Purley we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Purley range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Greater London, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Purley
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 Purley jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
