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 Leatherhead we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Leatherhead range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Leatherhead include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Leatherhead
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Leatherhead jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
