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 resin job in Shoreham-by-Sea starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. In and around Shoreham-by-Sea, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Shoreham-by-Sea include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Shoreham-by-Sea
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. Laying days in Shoreham-by-Sea are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
