New resin driveways (full dig-out) across the West Midlands
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.
Typical projects we can quote for in Birmingham include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.
Prices in the West Midlands
Labour and material costs in the West Midlands run close to the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
New resin driveways (full dig-out): £75–£120 per m².
For a 30 m² drive in the West Midlands, built with a dig-out and new permeable base, expect roughly £2,250–£3,600 including VAT before any drainage or kerb work.
Planning in the West Midlands
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Birmingham jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
