What resin over tarmac and concrete involves
A resin overlay is a resin bound surface laid directly on top of an existing tarmac or concrete driveway that is still sound. It is the cheapest way to get a resin drive because there is no dig-out, but it only works when the old surface is level, stable and free of active cracking.
Any quote we prepare in Sandhurst says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Sandhurst, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Sandhurst we can price work such as adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Sandhurst
Labour and material costs in the South East run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 30 m² drive in the GU47 area would be around £1,500–£2,350 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,500–£4,050 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Sandhurst
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. An overlay on sealed tarmac or concrete does not drain through the old base, so the drive needs to fall towards a lawn, border or soakaway on your land, or the old base comes out for a permeable build.
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 Sandhurst jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
