Tarmac and Asphalt Resurfacing Hastings
If your existing tarmac driveway in Hastings is displaying signs of wear and tear – cracks, fading, deteriorated sections – resurfacing could be exactly what you need rather than removing everything and rebuilding from scratch. It’s an economical approach to revitalize your driveway’s appearance without the cost of complete replacement.
During our complimentary consultation, our tarmac driveway specialists can thoroughly evaluate the existing surface and give you a comprehensive breakdown of the work and the most suitable options for your needs.
What Is Resurfacing?
Resurfacing involves applying a new layer of tarmac over your existing driveway. We’re not excavating anything – we’re simply adding a fresh wearing course on top of what’s already there.
Consider it similar to installing new carpet over floorboards rather than removing the entire floor. The existing base remains in place, and we typically apply 25-40mm of new tarmac on top. The result is something that looks and functions like a brand new driveway.
When Resurfacing Makes Sense
Surface Damage Only
If the issues are surface-level – fading, minor cracks, worn areas, deterioration – but the base is still solid beneath, resurfacing is the ideal solution. We’re addressing the aesthetic and surface problems without undertaking unnecessary work.
Solid Foundation
The essential requirement is that your existing base is structurally sound. If there’s no major subsidence, large potholes, or substantial structural damage, the foundation is performing its function and doesn’t require replacement.
Budget Considerations
Resurfacing typically costs approximately 40-50% less than a completely new driveway. You’re economizing on excavation, disposal, and base materials. If the base is solid, there’s no reason to spend money replacing it.
Minimal Disruption
The work is faster – typically 1-2 days rather than 3-5 for a complete installation. Less disruption, less time with vehicles off the drive, and you can use it again within 24-48 hours.
An alternative option for customers is to resurface the driveway using resin! It can completely transform the space for you, and because the base is already established, you can achieve substantial savings.
