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 Burnley we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Burnley has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Projects we quote in and around Burnley include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Burnley
Labour and material costs in the North West run a little below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 49 m² drive in the BB10 area would be around £2,050–£3,200 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,400–£5,450 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

| Permeable SuDS driveways | £70–£110 per m² |
| Resin garden paths | £45–£130 per m² |

Planning in Burnley
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
