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 resin job in Washwood Heath starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Many homes in Washwood Heath have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Washwood Heath we can price work such as adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.

Planning in Washwood Heath
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
The West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in the West Midlands, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
