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 Buxton says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Buxton are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Buxton include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Buxton
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 East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. Laying days in Buxton are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
