Resin over tarmac and concrete across North Yorkshire
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.
Adding around 18 mm of resin raises the level of the drive, so the survey also checks door thresholds, damp-proof courses, airbricks and drainage channels. In most cases this is handled with edging details or by cutting back at the house.
In York we can price work such as swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.
Prices in North Yorkshire
Guide prices for North Yorkshire are based on Yorkshire and the Humber rates, which are a little below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin over tarmac and concrete: £40–£65 per m².
As a guide, a 31 m² drive in the YO area would be around £1,300–£2,000 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,150–£3,450 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in North Yorkshire
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.
Weather and working days
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in North Yorkshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
