Resin over tarmac and concrete across County Londonderry
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.
Adding around 18 mm of resin raises the level of the drive, so the survey also checks door thresholds, damp-proof courses, airbricks and drainage channels. In most cases this is handled with edging details or by cutting back at the house.
Projects we quote in and around Derry include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car.

Resin over tarmac and concrete: £40–£60 per m².
As a guide, a 72 m² drive in the BT area would be around £2,850–£4,450 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £4,750–£7,600 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in County Londonderry
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.
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.
