Driveway resurfacing is a process that involves applying a new layer of material over an existing driveway to restore its appearance and extend its lifespan. This method is often more cost-effective than complete replacement and can help cover cracks and surface damage. It involves:

  Assessing the Condition of the Drive:

We inspect the driveway for cracks, potholes, or drainage issues. This helps determine the extent of repairs that are required

·Preparing the Surface:

We then clear away any debris, weeds, and loose materials. Ensuring the surface is clean and stable

·Repairing any Damage:

Then the cracks and potholes are filled with appropriate fillers or patching compounds. Compacting the material to create a level surface.

Applying Tack Coat:

 Spreading a tack coat to improve adhesion between the old and new tarmac layers.

· Laying New Tarmac:

The new tarmac is laid evenly across the surface. It is compacted using a roller for a smooth finish.

· Sealing the Surface:

Applying a sealant to protect the driveway from weather damage and extend its lifespan

·Curing:

Allow the tarmac to set and cure for 24-48 hours before use.

Five signs your driveway needs resurfacing:

Stained and worn surfaces

.Your driveway is one of the first things visitors to your home notice. Unfortunately, the weather, oil spills and daily vehicle use can have an adverse effect on your driveway, leaving a stained and grimy surface

 Poor water drainage

Driveways should efficiently drain water, preventing puddles, flooding and surface damage. If you spot water pooling or flowing in unexpected directions, this can indicate an issue. Poor driveway drainage can lead to erosion, cracks and even structural damage over time, so it’s not something to ignore. Resurfacing with proper sloping and drainage solutions can prevent these issues and ensure a longer lifespan for your driveway.
