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 Plymstock, 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. Around Plymstock, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Projects we quote in and around Plymstock 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.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Plymstock
Labour and material costs in the South West run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
For a 35 m² drive in Plymstock: about £1,700–£2,600 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £2,800–£4,500 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Plymstock
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Laying days in Plymstock are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
