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 Lincoln says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Lincoln, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Across Lincolnshire, the projects we price include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Lincoln
Labour and material costs in the East Midlands run close to the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Worked example: a 44 m² drive in Lincoln laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,000–£3,100. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £3,300–£5,300.

Planning in Lincoln
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
