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 Winchester, 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. Winchester mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Winchester include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).
Prices for new resin driveways (full dig-out) in Winchester
Guide prices for Winchester are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
As a guide, a 55 m² drive in the SO21 area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £4,600–£7,400, including VAT.

Planning in Winchester
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
