Resin over tarmac and concrete across Cambridgeshire
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.
Overlaying is where most resin driveway budgets start, and where the survey matters most. Tarmac needs to be at least a few years old and fully cured so it no longer moves in hot weather. Concrete needs to be free of moving cracks and lifting slabs.
Projects we quote in and around Peterborough include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.

Resin over tarmac and concrete: £50–£75 per m².
Typical Cambridgeshire figures for a 26 m² drive: £1,250–£1,950 over sound tarmac or concrete; £2,100–£3,350 with a dig-out and new permeable base. Both include VAT.
Planning in Cambridgeshire
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Laying days in Peterborough are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
