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 Neath we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Neath mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across West Glamorgan, the projects we price include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Neath
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.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Neath jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
