New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Tyne and Wear
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.
Across Tyne and Wear, the projects we price include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put.
Prices in Tyne and Wear
Guide prices for Tyne and Wear are based on North East 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 33 m² drive in Tyne and Wear, built with a dig-out and new permeable base, expect roughly £2,200–£3,500 including VAT before any drainage or kerb work.
Planning in Tyne and Wear
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 North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Newcastle upon Tyne jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
