What is included?

Tarmac resurfacing, or an overlay, means cleaning and repairing an existing drive, spraying a bond coat and laying a new surface course of about 25–40 mm on top, without digging out the base.

  • Survey of the existing base: sinking, rutting, loose edges and drainage
  • Cut out and patch failed areas before overlaying
  • Plane or cut back at thresholds, kerbs and covers so levels still work
  • Bond (tack) coat sprayed to glue the new layer to the old
  • New surface course, typically 25–40 mm, laid hot and rolled
  • Edges sealed and joints to existing surfaces cut neatly

Rules in Clwyd

In Wales, new front hardstanding should be porous or drain to a permeable area within the property, and work covering 100 m² or more with drainage effects usually needs SAB approval first. Any new or widened crossing over the pavement needs approval from the council as highway authority.
