Is it Expensive to Tarmac a Driveway?

Tarmac driveways cost less per square meter than other types of driveway surfaces. Installation prices can vary depending on several factors. Best to contact us at Pinnacle Building Solutions for an accurate estimate.

Is Tarmac Cheaper Than Block Paving?

Materials used in installing tarmac driveways are often cheaper. Labour costs are also lower since tarmac takes less time to lay. This makes block paving only costing 10% more on average.

How Long Does a Tarmac Driveway Last?

Tarmac driveways are known for their durability and being weather resistant. This type of driveway lasts more than 15 years, with less maintenance required.

Do You Need Planning Permission to Lay Tarmac?

Generally, you will need planning permission to lay tarmac, especially if the surface to be covered is more than five square metres. Laying traditional, impermeable driveways that do not allow the water to run to a permeable area requires planning permission.

How Long Does it Take to Tarmac a Drive?

The timeline of installing your new tarmac driveway will depend on the scope of work. A project of roughly 20m2 in size may take less time (1-2 days), while a larger area of around 80m2 may take approximately 4-5 days.

Tarmac Driveways

TARMAC DRIVEWAYS

A cost-effective alternative to concrete, tarmac driveways offer you a strong and durable surface material that works exceptionally well with heavy vehicles and high traffic areas.

Tarmac, made from crushed/aggregate stones and mixed with tar, gives your driveway a smooth finish that provides skid resistance and protection from all weather conditions. The surface has no cracks that can be filled by water when it rains.

The installation process of tarmac is extremely easy and doesn’t take much time at all. Tarmac is laid on a surface as a hot liquid and is then required to cool down to allow the particles to bind together. This quick process will save you time and money.

Is Tarmac Good for Driveways?

Tarmac is durable and highly resilient to heavy vehicles, which is why it's the most preferred material for driveways and roads. Suppose you have several family members using multiple cars, and lots of traffic comes in and out of your driveway daily. In that case, tarmac is a good material of choice since it doesn't get damaged or cracked under pressure easily.

Tarmac is weather-resistant, long-lasting, and strong. It can withstand extreme cold, rain and heat. Tarmac's smooth surface means that it can be filled with rainwater to prevent cracks.
