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.

In Armagh, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. In and around Armagh, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.

In Armagh we can price work such as replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Armagh

Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. 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.

Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply it is worth checking with your council's planning team before work starts.

General information for Northern Ireland, not legal advice.

Weather and working days

Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
