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 Strood says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Strood range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Kent, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Strood
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.
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.
