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 Deal we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Deal have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Deal include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, 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.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Deal
Labour and material costs in the South East run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Worked example: a 31 m² drive in Deal laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,550–£2,450. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £2,600–£4,150.

Planning in Deal
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 South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
