More Information
Sub-Base: The Foundation of a Good Tarmac Drive
A tarmac driveway is only as good as what goes underneath it. Without a solid sub-base, tarmac will crack, sink and fail within a few years. We excavate to the correct depth, lay compacted MOT Type 1 hardcore and ensure the base is properly consolidated before any tarmac goes down. This preparation takes more time but it is what separates a driveway that lasts from one that needs replacing in five years.
Edge Restraints and Drainage
Tarmac needs to be contained on its edges to stop it spreading or cracking at the margins. We install kerb restraints or edging stones around the perimeter of every tarmac driveway. We also build correct drainage falls into the surface so water runs away from the house and does not pool on the drive. On some properties we install drainage channels to manage water more actively. Getting drainage right at the installation stage prevents long-term problems.
Ready to Use Quickly
One of the practical advantages of tarmac over some other surfaces is how quickly it can be used after installation. In good weather, a tarmac driveway is typically ready for foot traffic within a few hours and for vehicles within 24 to 48 hours. We will advise on the specific curing time for your installation when we complete the job, as this can vary with temperature and weather conditions.
ABOUT US
A tarmac driveway installation in Beeston recently involved removing an old, potholed tarmac surface that had been patched repeatedly over the years and was past saving. We took it all out, prepared a new sub-base and laid fresh tarmac with proper edging and drainage. The whole job was done in two days and the homeowner had a clean, smart driveway that looked completely different to what they had before.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a tarmac driveway cost in Nottingham?
Tarmac driveway costs in Nottingham depend on the size of the area, the depth of preparation required and any associated work such as drop kerbs or drainage. CP Driveways provides free, no-obligation quotes on all tarmac driveway work. Call 07400203588 to arrange a visit.
How long does tarmac driveway installation take in Nottingham?
Most tarmac driveway installations in Nottingham are completed in one to two days. The sub-base preparation typically takes the first day and the tarmac is laid on the second. Larger or more complex driveways may take longer. We will give you a clear timeline when we come to quote.
Can I have a coloured tarmac driveway in Nottingham?
Standard tarmac is black. Coloured or decorative surfaces are better achieved with resin bound or block paving. However, if a smart, low-cost, durable black driveway is what you need, tarmac is hard to beat. CP Driveways can discuss all your options when we come to give you a free quote.
