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 Northolt we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Northolt mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Northolt include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, 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.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Northolt
For London, where typical costs are well above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
As a guide, a 59 m² drive in the UB5 area would be around £3,200–£4,950 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £5,300–£8,500 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Northolt
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Greater London, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
