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 resin job in Banbury starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Homes in Banbury range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Projects we quote in and around Banbury include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, 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 Banbury
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.
