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 Strood says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Strood have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Strood include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Strood
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 Strood jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
