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 Thetford says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Thetford, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.

Projects we quote in and around Thetford include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Thetford

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 of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Norfolk, but dry, mild winter days can work too.

How it works

The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
