New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Norfolk
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.
In Norwich we can price work such as swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.
Prices in Norfolk
Labour and material costs in the East of England run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
New resin driveways (full dig-out): £80–£130 per m².
As a guide, a 55 m² drive in the NR area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £4,450–£7,150, including VAT.
Planning in Norfolk
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Norwich jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
