New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Gwent
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.
Most resin driveway failures come from what is underneath, so a full dig-out is the safest route when the existing drive is block paving, gravel, broken tarmac, cracked concrete or lawn.
In Newport we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface.
Prices in Gwent
For South Wales, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
New resin driveways (full dig-out): £65–£105 per m².
Worked example: a 37 m² drive in Gwent with a dig-out and new permeable base would typically come to about £2,450–£3,950, including VAT.
Planning in Gwent
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
