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.
Before quoting in Caterham we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plots around Caterham are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Caterham 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. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Caterham
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
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 Surrey, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
