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.
Before quoting in Canvey Island we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Canvey Island range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Essex, the projects we price include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Canvey Island
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 of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Laying days in Canvey Island are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
