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 quote we prepare in Cardiff says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Housing in Cardiff ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and newer estates, and drive sizes vary just as much.
Typical projects we can quote for in Cardiff include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).
Prices for new resin driveways (full dig-out) in Cardiff
Guide prices for Cardiff are based on South Wales rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.

Planning in Cardiff
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.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in South Glamorgan, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
