What we do on a tarmac driveway repair

A proper tarmac repair cuts out the damaged area in a neat square, digs out any failed stone beneath, rebuilds and compacts the base, bonds the edges and lays new hot tarmac flush with the drive.

Find the cause: water, root, soft base or missing edge
Dig out and replace failed sub-base, compact in layers
Hot binder and surface course laid flush and rolled
Joints sealed to stop water getting under the patch
Edge restraint replaced where the side has crumbled
