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 Hadleigh says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Hadleigh, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across Essex, the projects we price include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Hadleigh
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 Hadleigh are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
