Resin over tarmac and concrete across Buckinghamshire
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.
Small cracks can be cut out and repaired, loose edges rebuilt and hollow spots filled before the resin goes down. Large failed areas, sinking, tree-root damage or a surface that rocks underfoot mean the base has to come out, and that is quoted as a new driveway instead.
Typical projects we can quote for in Milton Keynes include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage.
Prices in Buckinghamshire
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.
Resin over tarmac and concrete: £50–£80 per m².
Typical Buckinghamshire figures for a 53 m² drive: £2,650–£4,150 over sound tarmac or concrete; £4,450–£7,100 with a dig-out and new permeable base. Both include VAT.
Planning in Buckinghamshire
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.
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Buckinghamshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
