New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Shropshire
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.
Because the base is new, this is also the moment to fix levels, add edging, move the drive line, widen the entrance or add channel drains, so the quote is itemised to show what each part costs.
Projects we quote in and around Telford include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.
Prices in Shropshire
For the West Midlands, where typical costs are close to the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
New resin driveways (full dig-out): £75–£120 per m².
As a guide, a 55 m² drive in the SY area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £4,100–£6,600, including VAT.
Planning in Shropshire
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Shropshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
