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.

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
