The problem
Tarmac can collect organic growth, traffic dirt and oil marks while its colour gradually weathers. Fine surface defects may be suitable for local attention, but movement, widespread breaking or base failure is a different problem. Restoration starts by deciding what can be cleaned or refinished and what first needs repair.
What's involved
- 01Assessing tarmac condition, access, drainage and the difference between surface and structural defects
- 02Cleaning the agreed area and treating visible organic build-up
- 03Preparing or repairing minor defects where specifically included in the scope
- 04Applying an agreed restorative finish only where the prepared surface is suitable
- 05Protecting the curing area and explaining when it can return to use

FAQ
Can every faded tarmac driveway be restored?
Not necessarily. A stable but weathered surface is a different candidate from tarmac that is breaking up, moving or failing at the base. The condition assessment determines whether restoration is worthwhile.
Are cracks and potholes included?
Only repairs listed in the quotation are included. Minor surface defects may be suitable for local work, while deeper or widespread failure needs a separate scope.
When can the driveway be used again?
That depends on the agreed treatment, weather and curing conditions. The return-to-use time is confirmed for the actual product and day rather than stated as one promise for every job.
Will all oil marks disappear?
Not always. Results depend on the type, age and depth of contamination. Cleaning can improve the surface, but permanent marks are discussed before a uniform finish is promised.
