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 Basingstoke we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Drives in Basingstoke range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
In Basingstoke we can price work such as adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, 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).

Planning in Basingstoke
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
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Basingstoke jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
