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 Lofthouse we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Lofthouse, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Lofthouse we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Lofthouse
Guide prices for Lofthouse are based on Yorkshire and the Humber rates, which are a little below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
As a guide, a 58 m² drive in the WF3 area would be around £2,450–£3,800 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £4,050–£6,450 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Lofthouse
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Lofthouse jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
