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.
Before quoting in Skelmersdale we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Skelmersdale range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Lancashire, the projects we price include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Skelmersdale
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Lancashire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
