New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Oxfordshire
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.
Most resin driveway failures come from what is underneath, so a full dig-out is the safest route when the existing drive is block paving, gravel, broken tarmac, cracked concrete or lawn.
Projects we quote in and around Oxford include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden.
Prices in Oxfordshire
Prices in the South East are above the UK average. These are guide ranges including VAT; your quote follows a free survey.
New resin driveways (full dig-out): £85–£135 per m².
Worked example: a 63 m² drive in Oxfordshire with a dig-out and new permeable base would typically come to about £5,300–£8,450, including VAT.
Planning in Oxfordshire
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Oxfordshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
