Tarmac and Asphalt Resurfacing Faversham
If your current tarmac driveway in Faversham is displaying signs of wear – cracks, fading, deteriorated sections – resurfacing could be exactly what you need rather than removing everything and rebuilding from the ground up. It’s an economical approach to restore your driveway’s appearance without the cost of complete replacement.
During our complimentary site visit, our tarmac driveway specialists for Faversham can thoroughly inspect the existing surface and supply you with a comprehensive breakdown of the required work and the most suitable options for moving forward.
What Is Resurfacing?
Resurfacing involves applying a new layer of tarmac over your current driveway. We’re not excavating anything – we’re simply placing a fresh 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 untouched, and we typically apply 25-40mm of new tarmac on top. The result is a driveway that looks and functions like a completely new installation.
When Resurfacing Makes Sense
Surface Damage Only
If the issues are confined to the surface – fading, minor cracking, deteriorated sections, patchy areas – but the base remains structurally sound underneath, resurfacing is the ideal solution. We’re addressing the aesthetic and surface-level problems without unnecessary excavation work.
Solid Foundation
The essential requirement is that your existing base is structurally sound. If there’s no substantial sinking, 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 completely new driveway installation. You’re economizing on excavation, waste removal, and base materials. If the base is structurally sound, 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 alternative for customers is to resurface the driveway using resin! It can completely revitalize the area for you, and since the base is already established, you can achieve substantial savings.
