Do I need permission in Wednesbury?

What is included in tarmac resurfacing?

A new tack-coated surface course over a drive whose base is still sound: less digging, lower cost.

  • 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
  • Bond (tack) coat sprayed to glue the new layer to the old
