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 Muswell Hill says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Muswell Hill have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.

Across Greater London, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Muswell Hill

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

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. Laying days in Muswell Hill are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

How it works

The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
