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 Leeds we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Leeds has everything from tight terraced frontages to large suburban drives, so no two quotes look the same.
Projects we quote in and around Leeds include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Leeds
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.
Worked example: a 57 m² drive in Leeds laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,400–£3,700. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £4,000–£6,350.

Planning in Leeds
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
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 West Yorkshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
