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 Widnes says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Widnes have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Widnes include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Widnes
For the North West, where typical costs are a little below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
As a guide, a 27 m² drive in the WA8 area would be around £1,150–£1,750 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £1,900–£3,000 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Widnes
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Cheshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
