Tarmac Surfacing Contractors in Esher
A well-finished driveway should work with the entrance and appearance of the property while also providing a practical surface capable of handling regular vehicle use.
Easy Group installs and resurfaces tarmac driveways throughout Esher, providing everything from completely new driveway construction to repairs and resurfacing of suitable existing areas.
We assess the existing ground, drainage, levels and base before deciding what preparation is required. This is important because the long-term performance of the finished tarmac depends heavily on the construction beneath it.
Where appropriate, tarmac can also be combined with decorative block paving, kerbing and edging to create a more defined and individual driveway entrance.
New Tarmac Driveways in Esher
Tarmac provides a smooth and relatively understated driveway finish that can suit both traditional and contemporary properties. It is practical for regular vehicle use and can be adapted to a wide range of driveway shapes and entrance layouts.
A new installation begins with assessment of the existing site. Where necessary, older material is removed and the area excavated to allow a suitable sub-base to be constructed and compacted beneath the finished surface.
Driveway Ground Preparation
The quality of a new driveway depends considerably on the preparation beneath it. Weak or unsuitable ground, insufficient base construction or unresolved drainage problems can all affect the finished surface.
For this reason, we assess each property before recommending the required construction rather than treating every driveway in exactly the same way.
Tarmac With Block Paved Borders
Tarmac can be combined with contrasting paving to create a more detailed finish around the entrance. Block paved borders can define the driveway, highlight curves or edges and provide contrast against the darker tarmac surface.
Kerbs, entrance details and transitions to existing paths or paving can also be considered as part of the overall driveway design.
Tarmac & Asphalt Resurfacing Esher
An older driveway may not always need to be completely rebuilt. Where the existing construction remains stable and suitable, resurfacing can sometimes provide an effective way to renew the appearance and surface.
Before resurfacing is recommended, the existing driveway needs to be checked for significant cracking, movement, weak areas and drainage problems.
If deterioration originates below the surface, additional preparation may be necessary first rather than simply covering the existing problem.
Tarmac Driveway Repairs in Esher
Driveways can deteriorate for different reasons. Localised damage may develop through repeated vehicle loading, weathering or wear, while larger areas of cracking or sinking can indicate movement within the construction beneath the surface.
We assess damaged areas before recommending the repair method so the work can be matched to the type and extent of deterioration.
Repairing Localised Damage
Where damage is limited to a specific section, it may be possible to prepare and repair that area rather than replacing the entire driveway. The affected material and condition of the base are considered first.
When a Larger Resurface Is Appropriate
Where the driveway is generally stable but the visible surface has become worn over a wider area, resurfacing may produce a more consistent finish than carrying out numerous individual patch repairs.
For more substantial failure, sections of the driveway may need reconstruction before the final surfacing work is completed.
A Tarmac Driveway Doesn't Have to Look Basic
Although tarmac itself provides a simple smooth finish, surrounding details can make a considerable difference to the overall appearance of the driveway and entrance.
Borders, edging, steps and transitions can be considered as part of the project so that the finished driveway works with the surrounding property.
From Existing Driveway to Finished Surface
The exact preparation varies from site to site, but the project follows a structured process from initial assessment through to the completed driveway.
Survey
The existing driveway, levels, access and ground conditions are assessed.
Preparation
Excavation, sub-base and repairs are completed where required.
Drainage & Edging
Water management, kerbs, paving borders and levels are addressed.
Surfacing
The agreed tarmac or asphalt surface is installed and professionally finished.
Alternative Driveway Surfaces in Esher
Tarmac is not the only option available. Depending on the style of the property and preferred finish, resin bound surfacing, block paving or tar & chip may also be suitable.
Resin Bound Driveways Esher
Resin bound surfacing combines natural stone aggregate with specialist resin to create a smooth decorative surface with no loose gravel on top.
Different aggregate colours and blends are available and permeable systems can be created where the complete base construction is suitable.
Resin Driveways →Block Paving Driveways Esher
Block paving allows greater flexibility in colour, pattern and design and can be used for complete driveways or simply as contrasting borders around a tarmac surface.
Suitable base preparation and edge restraint remain important to the stability of the finished paving.
Block Paving →Tar & Chip Surface Dressing
Tar and chip surface dressing provides a more textured appearance and can be appropriate for suitable larger driveways, private entrances and access routes.
The condition of the existing surface needs to be assessed before this type of finish is recommended.
Surface Dressing →Should You Resurface or Replace Your Driveway?
The right answer depends on the condition of the driveway beneath the visible surface.
Resurfacing May Be Enough
Where the underlying driveway remains stable and the main issue is surface wear, resurfacing may provide a practical way to renew the area without unnecessary complete reconstruction.
Reconstruction May Be Required
Widespread cracking, movement, repeated sinking or drainage problems can indicate that sections beneath the surface need attention before a reliable new driveway finish can be installed.
