FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional tarmac driveway and surfacing services in Felixstowe & Suffolk.

How long does a tarmac driveway last?

+

A professionally installed tarmac driveway can easily last 15 to 20 years or more. Its lifespan depends heavily on the quality of the sub-base and how well the drainage is managed. Regular maintenance and fixing small cracks early can extend the life of the surface significantly.

Can you lay new tarmac over an old driveway?

+

In some cases, yes. This is known as an "overlay." However, it is only a good idea if the existing driveway is structurally sound and has no major sinking or drainage issues. If the base is failing, laying new tarmac on top will only hide the problem for a few months. We always provide an honest assessment during our site visit.

How soon can I park my car on a new tarmac drive?

+

Tarmac needs time to cool and harden properly. While you can usually walk on it within a few hours, we recommend keeping cars off the surface for at least 48 to 72 hours, especially during the summer. In very hot weather, it can take a bit longer to fully set.

Is tarmac better than block paving?

+

Both have their merits. Tarmac is generally more affordable and faster to install. It provides a smooth surface that is great for kids' bikes and pushchairs. Block paving offers more design variety but requires more maintenance to keep weeds out of the joints. We can discuss both options to see which fits your needs and budget.

How long does a tarmac driveway actually last?

+

A professionally installed tarmac driveway can easily last 15 to 20 years or more. The key to its lifespan is the quality of the sub-base and the drainage. If the foundation is solid and water cannot sit underneath the surface, the tarmac will remain stable for decades.

Can you lay new tarmac over my old driveway?

+

In some cases, yes. This is known as an "overlay." If your existing concrete or tarmac driveway is still structurally sound and has no major sinking or drainage issues, we can clean it, apply a tack coat, and lay a fresh layer of tarmac on top. This is a great way to refresh the look of your home at a lower cost. However, if the old base is crumbling, it is always better to dig it out and start fresh.

How soon can I drive my car on the new surface?

+

Usually, you can walk on the surface within a few hours. For vehicles, we typically recommend waiting 48 to 72 hours, especially during the summer. Tarmac stays soft for a little while as it cools and hardens. In very hot weather, it is a good idea to avoid turning your steering wheel while the car is stationary, as this can mark the fresh surface.

Is tarmac better than block paving?

+

Both have their benefits. Block paving offers more design choices, but tarmac is generally faster to install and more budget-friendly. Tarmac also provides a smoother surface which is better for children’s bikes, scooters, or for people with mobility aids. Many of our customers choose a mix of both—a tarmac centre with a decorative block-paved border.
