Resin over tarmac and concrete across West 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.
Overlaying is where most resin driveway budgets start, and where the survey matters most. Tarmac needs to be at least a few years old and fully cured so it no longer moves in hot weather. Concrete needs to be free of moving cracks and lifting slabs.
Across West Yorkshire, the projects we price include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put.
Prices in West Yorkshire
For Yorkshire and the Humber, where typical costs are a little below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Resin over tarmac and concrete: £40–£65 per m².
As a guide, a 49 m² drive in the LS area would be around £2,050–£3,200 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,400–£5,450 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in West 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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
