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 Dagenham, 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. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Dagenham, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Typical projects we can quote for in Dagenham include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Dagenham
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.

Weather and working days
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Greater London, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
