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.
Any quote we prepare in Folkestone says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Folkestone mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Folkestone we can price work such as replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Folkestone
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.
