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.

  • Find the cause: water, root, soft base or missing edge
  • 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 Herefordshire

Repairs, paths and edging work rarely need planning permission. In England, a new hard surface over 5 m² in front of a house needs planning permission unless it is porous or drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property.
