What are the benefits of a tarmac driveway?
Tarmac driveways offer several advantages, making them a popular choice for homeowners:
- Durability: Tarmac is known for its long-lasting nature, withstanding the test of time with proper care.
- Ease of Installation: Laying tarmac is straightforward on a flat, prepared surface, allowing for quick installation.
- Weather Resistance: It performs exceptionally well under various weather conditions, from intense sun to freezing temperatures.
- Uniform Appearance: Tarmac provides a smooth, uniform look that many homeowners appreciate.
- Low Maintenance: Taking care of a tarmac driveway is relatively easy, with repairs being straightforward to manage.
What are the disadvantages of a tarmac driveway?
Despite its benefits, there are some drawbacks to consider:
- Pothole Formation: Over time, tarmac can develop potholes, especially in areas with heavy vehicle traffic.
- Moss Growth: In conditions where it doesn’t dry out properly, moss can grow on the surface.
- Weed Damage: Weeds can break through tarmac, leading to cracks and compromising its integrity.
If tarmac isn’t the look you want for your home, you might want to consider concrete, brick, stone or resin driveways.
How do I know if the job has been done well?
A well-executed tarmac driveway should display:
- Proper Preparation: The ground should be correctly prepared before laying the tarmac.
- Smoothness and Evenness: The surface should be smooth and even, with no bumps or irregularities.
- Complete Coverage: Tarmac should fully cover the intended area, with no gaps or missing sections.

Other tarmac driveway FAQs
Does tarmac add to the value of a house?
Yes, a well-maintained tarmac driveway can enhance the curb appeal and value of your property.
Do you need planning permission for tarmac?
In many cases, planning permission is not required for tarmac driveways, but it’s essential to check local regulations, especially for new or significantly altered driveways.
Does water drain through tarmac?
Standard tarmac is not permeable, but porous asphalt options allow water to drain through, reducing runoff and the risk of flooding.

The quality of the work was of a high standard and when we had a couple of issues Dave sorted them immediately.
Hi, I'm Ram Singh from A1 Builders I have been doing building work 31 years I have city and guilds for general building work, I do all aspects from groundwork to roof fully insured and qualified . I'm here to help you with all your problems . Thanks Ram
Ram did a wonderful job of fixing our leaking roof. I have already arranged for him to do another job for me as I trust his expertise.
[COMPANY_NAME] attended our property to quote for the job as arranged and provided the quote within a few days as expected. As the the quote was very competitive the job was awarded to [COMPANY_NAME]. The job was completed satisfactorily within two days, with no involvement required by ourselves and all rubbish disposed of.
Princes Paving &Building is a small family run buisiness.we specialise in the smaller jobs other builders do not want.we are also fencing contractors.
Pleasant, friendly and very helpful. Turned up when promised and did a fine job. Recommended!
I'm so sorry that my feed back has been sent with such delay....but after having the fence for about 4 years I can definitely assure that they did a good solid work! on time and on budget I would certainly recommend Tom and his colleague to anyone.

Perry and his team were highly professional in every respect - they responded quicky, provided a thorough and competitive quote, and finished the project on time and on budget and to a very high standard. They were also very polite and friendly.
A very reliable, hardworking, clean and tidy couple of young men ( very hard to find today). Nothing too much trouble for them and very eager to please. Would have no hesitation in recommending to others. Although our wall seemed only a smallish job (front garden wall) the work carried out was first class. Thanks again Tim and Steve for a brilliant job well done!

hi I am paul davies multi-trades man over 40 years building and decorating have built hundreds of extensions and loft conversions with fitted bathrooms, Kitchens I mostly concentrate now on bathrooms and painting and decorating plastering where necessar
Excellent time keeping, very clean and tidy.
Fork Handles were a great company, They replied instantly with a date to meet and discuss. We met with Steve & immediately, came to an agreement, and he was able to start as we wanted. He did everything that he said he would, was punctual, hard working, honest & a good clear communicator, even telling us when he was running later than anticipated, and we would certainly use him again, and recommend him to others. I’m also happy for anyone to contact me directly.
We are a small building company, working in London and the surrounding areas for over 35 years. We are a friendly, personable company skilled in all aspects of the building trade. We carry out all work to a high standard.
I had some fencing replaced, some crazy paving taken up and gravel put down and a gate erected by these guys. The work was done to a great standard with minimum fuss and in a timely fashion. They do not use any sub-contractors so you know who you are dealing with throughout the project. The site was left clean and tidy too so I am more than happy to recommend SNC Building and Maintenance Service for similar jobs.
Gentle Touch is a family run business with more than twenty years experience creating beautiful, low maintenance gardens. We now bring that same care and attention inside your home. We are now a proud member of the Guild of Master Craftsmen.
Really good service, kept us informed of everything that was happening and did exactly what we wanted. We're really happy with the end result, just what we wanted. Would happily recommend and will definitely use again.
We have had nothing but excellant work from Ross Glover. From the quotation, he came out himself along with a plumber and electrician to give a true quotation. His work has been of excellant standard. His workers are very reliable and we are kept up to date at every stage of the build. Their knowledge and professionalism is fantastic and have given us good advice and resolve problems which have come to light. They have also been able to help save costs on the build aswell.

Job originally quoted for painting gable ends. On closer inspection, timber found to be rotten and needed replacing. Was given the option to replace with timber or UPVC. Opted for UPVC cladding. Workmen were hardworking and punctual. We were happy with the standard of work and they tidied up when the job was complete. We would be happy to use this company again and would recommend to friends/family.

Great job, gave us exactly what we wanted and finished to what appears to be a very high standard, really took his time getting everything perfect. Was really friendly and slotted in our job really quickly, even though it was only a small job. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
