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 Newport, Isle of Wight we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plots around Newport, Isle of Wight are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Newport, Isle of Wight include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Newport, Isle of Wight
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.
