The Project

A homeowner in Banstead contacted us looking for a solution to their worn and tired-looking driveway. Over time, the existing tarmac surface had deteriorated, with visible cracks, uneven patches, and general wear that not only affected the appearance of the property but also its accessibility and safety.

The client was seeking a quick, efficient, and long-lasting solution to improve the look and functionality of the driveway.

Our Recommendation

Following a site inspection, we recommended a full tarmac resurfacing using a 10mm wearing course laid to a depth of 50mm. This approach would provide a fresh, durable finish, while reinforcing the driveway surface for everyday vehicle use.

By overlaying the existing tarmac with a new layer of premium-quality material, we could restore the smoothness and structure of the driveway without the need for a complete dig-out—keeping the project efficient and cost-effective.

The Installation

The project was completed in just one working day. We began by thoroughly cleaning the existing surface to remove any loose debris and ensure proper adhesion. Minor imperfections were levelled, and any weak areas were repaired to create a sound base for the new layer.

We then applied a tack coat to bind the new surface to the existing substrate. Once this was complete, we laid the new 10mm wearing course tarmac to a depth of 50mm, ensuring consistent coverage and a professional, smooth finish throughout.

Careful compaction followed to provide a level, hard-wearing surface that would stand up to regular use and changing weather conditions.

The Result

The finished driveway has given the property a smart and refreshed appearance. The new tarmac surface is smooth, even, and built to last, offering improved safety and curb appeal.

The client was pleased with the speed of the work and the quality of the finish. With minimal disruption and a clean, professional result, the resurfaced driveway is now ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
