New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Kent
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.
For a permeable drive the base is built to let water through: a clean, open-graded stone sub-base under a porous asphalt binder, with the resin on top. Where the ground does not drain, the base can be built with drainage to a soakaway instead.
Typical projects we can quote for in Maidstone include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car.
Prices in Kent
Prices in the South East are above the UK average. These are guide ranges including VAT; your quote follows a free survey.
New resin driveways (full dig-out): £85–£135 per m².
Worked example: a 46 m² drive in Kent with a dig-out and new permeable base would typically come to about £3,850–£6,200, including VAT.
Planning in Kent
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
