What we do on tarmac resurfacing
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
- Weed treatment and a clean surface
- Edges sealed and joints to existing surfaces cut neatly
