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 Caerphilly says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Caerphilly range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Gwent, the projects we price include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts 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 Caerphilly
Labour and material costs in South Wales run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 31 m² drive in the CF83 area would be around £1,250–£1,950 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,050–£3,300 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Caerphilly
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on 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.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Caerphilly jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
