Tarmac and Asphalt Resurfacing Deeside
If your current tarmac driveway in Deeside is beginning to show signs of wear – fading, cracks, deteriorated sections – resurfacing could be the solution you need rather than completely removing everything and rebuilding. It’s an economical approach to restore your driveway’s appearance without incurring the cost of total replacement.
During our complimentary site visit, our tarmac driveway specialists for Deeside can thoroughly inspect the current surface and offer you a comprehensive breakdown of the required work and the most suitable options available.
What Is Resurfacing?
Resurfacing involves applying a fresh layer of tarmac over your current driveway. We don’t excavate anything – we’re simply adding a new wearing course on top of the existing structure.
Consider it similar to laying new carpet over floorboards rather than replacing the entire floor. The existing base remains undisturbed, and we generally apply 25-40mm of new tarmac on top. The result is a driveway that looks and functions like new.
When Resurfacing Makes Sense
Surface Damage Only
If the issues are confined to the surface – fading, minor cracks, worn sections, patches – but the base beneath remains solid, resurfacing is the ideal solution. We’re addressing the aesthetic and surface-level problems without unnecessary extensive work.
Solid Foundation
The essential requirement is that your existing base is structurally sound. If there’s no significant subsidence, large potholes, or major structural problems, the foundation is performing adequately and doesn’t require replacement.
Budget Considerations
Resurfacing typically costs approximately 40-50% less than a complete new driveway installation. You’re saving on excavation, waste removal, and base materials. If the base is in good condition, there’s no justification for spending money to replace it.
Minimal Disruption
The project is faster – typically 1-2 days rather than 3-5 for a complete installation. Less disruption, less time with vehicles displaced from the drive, and you can resume using it within 24-48 hours.
Another option for customers is to resurface the driveway using resin! It can dramatically transform the space for you, and since the base is already established, you can achieve substantial savings.
