New resin driveways (full dig-out) across South Glamorgan
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.
In Cardiff we can price work such as framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car.
Prices in South Glamorgan
Guide prices for South Glamorgan are based on South Wales rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
New resin driveways (full dig-out): £65–£105 per m².
For a 48 m² drive in South Glamorgan, built with a dig-out and new permeable base, expect roughly £3,200–£5,150 including VAT before any drainage or kerb work.
Planning in South Glamorgan
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Cardiff jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
