Frequently Asked Questions on Tarmac in Abbeymead
Tarmac is known for its durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. It can withstand heavy loads, is resistant to weathering, and provides a smooth driving surface. However, it may not offer the aesthetic appeal of some other materials like block paving or natural stone.
Yes, colored tarmac is available by adding pigments during the mixing process. Some companies offer decorative options, but these may require special expertise. Discuss your preferences with a tarmac professional.
A well-installed and properly maintained tarmac driveway can last around 15-20 years or more. Regular maintenance, such as resealing every few years, can extend its lifespan.
The duration depends on the extent of repairs. Minor crack filling may take a few hours, while patching or resurfacing might take a day or more. Factors like weather and curing time also influence the timeline.
In most cases, you don’t need planning permission for a tarmac driveway if it’s not larger than 5 square meters and doesn’t create surface water runoff issues. However, it’s best to check with your local council or planning authority to ensure compliance with regulations.
Tarmac can deteriorate due to various factors such as weathering, UV exposure, heavy traffic, water infiltration, freeze-thaw cycles, and chemical damage. Over time, these factors can lead to cracks, potholes, and surface degradation.
A tarmac contractor specialises in laying and repairing tarmac (asphalt) surfaces, such as driveways, parking lots, and roads. They handle the entire process, from site preparation and excavation to applying and compacting the tarmac mixture, resulting in a smooth and durable surface.
The cost depends on the area to be paved, the thickness of the tarmac layer, site preparation requirements, location, accessibility, and any additional features like edging or drainage. A professional contractor will provide a detailed breakdown of costs in their quote.
Patching involves filling potholes and damaged areas with fresh tarmac to restore the surface. It typically requires cleaning the area, applying a binder, adding tarmac mix, and compacting it properly.
Yes, if the existing tarmac is in relatively good condition, it can be resurfaced. The old surface is cleaned, cracks are repaired, and a new layer of tarmac is applied. Resurfacing is a cost-effective way to refresh the appearance and extend the life of your driveway.
Regular maintenance can help prevent tarmac damage. This includes filling cracks promptly, keeping the surface clean from debris, applying sealcoating for protection, and avoiding heavy vehicles or machinery on the surface.
The process involves preparing the base, adding a sub-base layer if needed, applying a binder course, followed by a wearing course of tarmac. The mixture is then rolled and compacted to create a smooth surface. Proper drainage and edging are also crucial for a quality installation.
