What the price covers
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
- Saw-cut the damaged area square, back to sound tarmac
- Bond coat to the cut faces and base
- Joints sealed to stop water getting under the patch
- Edge restraint replaced where the side has crumbled
