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 Sunbury-on-Thames we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Sunbury-on-Thames have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Sunbury-on-Thames include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Sunbury-on-Thames
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 South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Sunbury-on-Thames jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
