For a brand new tarmac driveway in Sidmouth, you can expect to pay upwards of £2000 for the surface, and possibly extra for any foundations.

Often, tarmac driveways in Sidmouth are cheaper than block paving. The cost-efficiency of tarmac driveways usually stems from the time taken and the tools needed to lay the initial foundation. Tarmac driveways in Sidmouth can take around a day to complete, whereas block paving can take several.
Planning permission is only needed for a tarmac driveway in Sidmouth if your driveway exceeds 5 metres square and is being laid traditionally (in an impermeable way). Any smaller driveways do not require planning permission from your local council and can be installed with no issue.
If you are simply resurfacing your tarmac driveway, planning permission isn’t required as you aren’t laying a fresh driveway.
When asphalt is first laid the surface will have a shiny black appearance. After some weeks, and depending on use, the glossiness will reduce as the surface weathers. Within 6 months to a year, the colour will lighten to a dark grey as the binder at the surface, when exposed to the sunlight, oxidises and wears.
As part of our service, our team can discuss tarmac driveways in Sidmouth and the methods known to prolong the lifespan, both cosmetically and practically.
To extend the life of your tarmac driveway in Sidmouth, you can apply a sealant to its surface. Most professionals will apply it after a year of its installation. The sealant works as a barrier to the elements that can cause damage to the surface and allow the driveway to stay fresh and clean.
When laying a tarmac driveway in Sidmouth, you should expect your driveway to last around 15 years or more. The lifespan of your driveway is impacted by maintenance and should last longer if properly cared for. Whilst tarmac requires little to no maintenance, you can always add a sealant to your driveway, acting as a barrier against the elements and allowing the driveway to remain undamaged.
Though concrete does last longer than tarmac, its weight exceeds its strength and replacing concrete is a bigger task. Tarmac is easier to handle, lay and maintain for your driveway in Sidmouth. It’s also quicker and cheaper to implement which is why tarmac is often used for construction such as roadworks, reducing the time spent on these projects and allowing the flow of traffic to return to normal.
Tarmac driveways in Sidmouth are very low-maintenance and simply require the removal of debris such as leaves, dirt and branches. Sweep the surface to clean and apply water at low pressure, never at high pressure. Following these steps can help keep your tarmac driveway in Sidmouth looking brand new.
The best way to repair your tarmac driveway in Sidmouth is to get in touch with Dares Surfacing. We have 30 years of experience dealing with tarmac, concrete and many other materials. We can help advise you on the best solution for your situation, from a simple resurface to a brand new driveway and everything in between.
Whilst tarmac driveways can be repaired at home, it’s easy to cause further damage if it’s not done properly. Save both time and money and contact Dares Surfacing for help repairing your tarmac driveway in Sidmouth.
It’s not uncommon to find moss growing on your tarmac driveway in Sidmouth, luckily there are two simple solutions. Clean the area from any muck, leaves or debris and apply a moss and algae killer, or just apply the killer to your driveway and skip the cleaning step. Moss and algae killer not only removes traces of the plant from your tarmac, but it also inhibits further growth.
To prevent moss from growing back, keep your driveway clean, dry, and out of shaded areas. Moss thrives in damp dark places so ensure your driveway isn’t covered by nearby trees.
