I fancy doing some paving at the back of our house to replace some

There are a couple of manholes at jaunty angles though and a soil pipe
so I can see a lot of cutting and faffing so wondered about the resin
stuff that I'm seeing advertised for drives.


Anyone got any opinion or experience? Is it DIYable?


probably not allowed under current building regs. Surfaces like drives need
to be permeable.


Maybe if you are doing one from scratch, but what if you are replacing
one impermeable surface (concrete) by another (resin)? Is there a
difference if the resin in laid on top of the concrete, or the concreter
removed first and the resin laid on a prepared base? If the latter, do
the base and resin have to be permeable?
