FAQs – Tarmac Drives

Tarmac, short for tarmacadam, is a type of surfacing material commonly used for driveways and roads. It is made from a mixture of tar and crushed stone or aggregate, which is then heated and laid to create a smooth, durable surface. Modern tarmac driveways often use bitumen rather than tar, which offers greater flexibility and longevity.

The cost of a tarmac driveway depends on its size, the materials used, and the complexity of the installation. On average, a tarmac driveway can cost between £30 and £60 per square metre for a simple installation. Larger or more complex driveways, or those requiring extensive base preparation, may cost more. It is recommended to get a professional quote for an accurate estimate.

A well-installed tarmac driveway can last 15 to 25 years or more, depending on factors such as the quality of the tarmac, the preparation of the base, and the amount of traffic it supports. Regular maintenance, such as filling cracks and sealing the surface, can help extend its lifespan.

A newly laid tarmac driveway needs time to cool and set properly before use. Pedestrian traffic can usually walk on the surface after 24 hours. Cars can typically be driven on it after two to three days, while heavier vehicles should wait at least a week to avoid damaging the new surface. Proper curing ensures the tarmac remains smooth and durable.
