New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Greater Manchester
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.
Because the base is new, this is also the moment to fix levels, add edging, move the drive line, widen the entrance or add channel drains, so the quote is itemised to show what each part costs.
Typical projects we can quote for in Manchester include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put.
Prices in Greater Manchester
Labour and material costs in the North West run a little below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
New resin driveways (full dig-out): £70–£110 per m².
As a guide, a 43 m² drive in the M area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £3,000–£4,800, including VAT.
Planning in Greater Manchester
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
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Laying days in Manchester are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
