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 Tunbridge Wells says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Tunbridge Wells have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Tunbridge Wells include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Tunbridge Wells
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. Laying days in Tunbridge Wells are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
