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 Boston says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Boston range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Boston include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Boston
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 Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. Laying days in Boston are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
