Tarmac Driveways

Professional tarmac driveway installation built to last — smooth, durable, and load-bearing from day one.

Built for Durability

If you’re looking for a low maintenance driveway that will withstand heavy daily use and won’t leave you dealing with loose stones or puddles, a professionally installed tarmac surface is the perfect solution.

At The Driveway Company, we are a trusted team of experienced tarmac contractors delivering a complete, start-to-finish service with no hidden costs and no unnecessary disruption. 

We completed a stunning domestic installation just last week — the feedback was exactly what we aim for: tidy, prompt, professional, and a great end result.

5 Highlights of Our Tarmac Driveways

Durable Wearing Surface

Compacted asphalt bound with bitumen creates a stable, load-bearing surface that withstands heavy traffic without cracking.

Fast Installation

Can be installed and cured within 1-2 days, providing a low-disruption option for busy homeowners and commercial sites.

Smooth, Even Finish

Hot mix tarmacadam is screeded and roller-compacted to a flat, graded surface to direct water away from your home.

Drainage Compatibility

Integrated gullies and soakaways meet local authority requirements for surface water runoff management.

Cost-Effective

A professional, sealed, impermeable finish at a competitive price per square metre compared to block paving or resin.

Signs You Need a New Tarmac Driveway

Cracking and Breaking Apart

Deteriorating macadam lets water penetrate the subbase, leading to structural failure during freeze-thaw cycles.

Poor Drainage and Pooling

If water pools after rain, your current gradient is failing. We plan drainage at the survey stage to protect your substrate.

Uneven or Sunken Areas

Indicates subbase failure. Patching potholes is a temporary fix; a full installation resolves the root cause.

Converting Grass or Gravel

Upgrade from shifting gravel to a stable, load-bearing entrance that stays in place and requires minimal maintenance.
