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 Salford says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Salford has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Typical projects we can quote for in Salford include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Salford
Labour and material costs in the North West run a little below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 64 m² drive in the M6 area would be around £2,700–£4,150 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £4,450–£7,150 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin over tarmac and concrete | £40–£65 per m² |
| Driveway extensions and widening | £70–£110 per m² |
| Driveway drainage and soakaways | £45–£100 per linear metre |

Planning in Salford
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Laying days in Salford 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.
