Bringing tired tarmac back
Tarmac is one of the most commonly used surfaces in the UK. It is laid on domestic driveways and on commercial surfaces such as car parks, school playgrounds and tennis courts. Wherever it is, it ages in the same way: sunlight and weather dry it out over time, and it fades from black to a dull grey.
Dry, faded tarmac also collects stains, and moss and algae creep in from the edges and any shaded areas. The result is a surface that looks older than it is.
Our tarmac restoration starts with a cleaning solution, either a professional tarmac cleaner or a mixture of detergent and water, applied to the surface. We then use light pressure washing, remove spills, stains, moss and algae, and finish with re-sealing.
Because the cleaning solution does much of the work, the pressure used on the surface can stay light, which is kinder to tarmac than a heavy jet. The same approach applies whether the tarmac is a single domestic drive or a larger surface. If you have a block paving or concrete drive instead, that is covered by our driveway cleaning service. We are fully insured and trained in spill management, and we travel up to 45 miles from our NE37 base, seven days a week.
