What to expect on a tarmac driveway

Typical timeline

3-5 working days

Most domestic driveways projects complete in this window.

Why us

30+ years on the tools across Surrey & Hampshire. Family-run, fully insured, no subcontracted crews.

Local factors we plan around

  • clay-heavy gardens that need deeper sub-base than the standard 150mm
  • older properties where the existing apron sits below pavement level
  • shared driveways where the join into the neighbour's surface needs careful matching
  • sloped plots that need ACO drainage at the threshold to keep water away from the house

Frequently asked questions

Foot traffic the same day, light cars after 24 hours, heavy vehicles after 5-7 days.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes - all workmanship is guaranteed and we're fully insured.
Can you repair an existing tarmac driveway?
