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 Litherland we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Litherland, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Litherland include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Litherland
Prices in the North West are a little below the UK average. These are guide ranges including VAT; your quote follows a free survey.
Worked example: a 62 m² drive in Litherland laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,600–£4,050. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £4,300–£6,900.

Planning in Litherland
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Merseyside, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
