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 Risca says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Risca, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Risca we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, 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 Risca
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. Laying days in Risca are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
