Resin over tarmac and concrete across Mid Glamorgan
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.
Overlaying is where most resin driveway budgets start, and where the survey matters most. Tarmac needs to be at least a few years old and fully cured so it no longer moves in hot weather. Concrete needs to be free of moving cracks and lifting slabs.
Typical projects we can quote for in Rhondda include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car.
Prices in Mid Glamorgan
Labour and material costs in South Wales run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Resin over tarmac and concrete: £40–£60 per m².
For a 63 m² drive in Mid Glamorgan: about £2,500–£3,900 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,200–£6,750 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Mid Glamorgan
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on 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.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
