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 Borehamwood says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Borehamwood have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Borehamwood we can price work such as swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

For the East of England, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
As a guide, a 24 m² drive in the WD6 area would be around £1,350–£2,100 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,250–£3,600 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Borehamwood
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Borehamwood jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
