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 Carmarthen, 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 Carmarthen, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Carmarthen include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Carmarthen
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on 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.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
West Wales has a mild but wet climate, which makes drainage the first question on any resin job. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Dyfed, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
