Tarmac Cleaning, Repairing & Restoring.

Why replace your Tarmac paving when you can have it restored for less than half the price?

Tarmac surfaces are just like any other external hard surface in that they need to be cleaned and maintained to keep them looking good and extend the lifespan of them.

Tarmac suffers badly from the following: fading from UV rays, moss, builders mess and fuel spills, not to mention over time it can start to break down in places.

The most common problem we encounter with Tarmac is fuel/oil spills due to tarmac being a very popular choice of driveway particulary with newer built houses. Fuel/oil spills can happen at any time, they can be safely removed but they will always leave a darker patch (etching) on the Tarmac surface where the bitumen has disolved and the only way to mask these is to re-coat/paint the whole area with a special Tarmac paint.

In times gone by most Tarmac owners would have looked at having it dug up and replaced but you don't need to go to those extremes unless it's beyond economical repair.

Restoring Tarmac is far cheaper than replacing

As a rough guide to pricing - to clean and paint Tarmac the price is from £8.00 per m2 as opposed to £20.00 to have tarmac laid (Please note we don't lay Tarmac or Paving). There will be an addition price for repairs depending on the size and work involved.

The Process:

Firstly we'll measure the Tarmac as accurately as possible with our measuring wheel, then see what repairs, stains or builder mess needs to be dealt with. We'll then give you an offical quote electronically for the work to be carried out.

The Tarmac is then cleaned (any fuel/oil stains of builders mess will be dealt with prior to cleaning) and rinsed down, a fungicidal wash may be applied if moss has been a problem with the driveway. We will then return on a dry day where the weather temperature is above 7C (Ideally 10C and above) and the Tarmac is dry or slightly damp to apply the Tarmac paint making sure to mask off any edging stones.

The Tarmac paint dries very quickly so you should be able to walk/drive on it within a few hours.
