New resin driveways (full dig-out) across the Isle of Wight
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.
Across the Isle of Wight, the projects we price include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build.

Labour and material costs in the South East run above 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): £85–£135 per m².
Worked example: a 63 m² drive in the Isle of Wight with a dig-out and new permeable base would typically come to about £5,300–£8,450, including VAT.
Planning in the Isle of Wight
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 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 Newport jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
