What is included?

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.

  • Saw-cut the damaged area square, back to sound tarmac
  • Dig out and replace failed sub-base, compact in layers
  • Bond coat to the cut faces and base
  • 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

Rules in Glasgow

Repairs, paths and edging work rarely need planning permission. In Scotland, a hard surface between the house and a road is permitted development only if it is porous or drains to a porous area within the property, whatever its size.

New tarmac is darker than a weathered drive, so a patch will show at first and fade over months. If appearance matters, a full overlay gives one even colour.
