FAQs for Tarmac Driveways
No. Our tarmac driveway installations are always carried out by our qualified and fully insured team of highly skilled paving experts. We never use sub-contractors, so we are guaranteed to deliver the same outstanding quality every time. As established tarmac driveway contractors, all our staff are trained to the highest levels.
Unlike block paved or concrete driveways, tarmac can be laid directly onto any existing surface, whereas the other materials require a full depth bedding layer before work can even begin.
As a completely natural and fully recyclable material tarmac can be considered one of the most environmentally friendly methods of surfacing available.
On average, the lifespan of tarmac is between 12 and 15 years before it will need to be replaced or undergo major repair work. Through years of heavy use and exposure to the elements, minor repairs to cracks and potholes may need to be completed, however other than this, very little maintenance work is required.
Costs will vary depending on the size of the area, the materials used, and the time and labour costs involved. No two tarmac driveway projects are the same. Please call us and we will be happy to provide a free site survey and quote and a timeframe for completion.
Tarmac is renowned for being easy to maintain as regular jet washing should be all that’s needed to keep it looking great and functioning effectively.
