Tarmac and Asphalt Resurfacing Holywell
If your current tarmac driveway in Holywell is displaying signs of age – cracks, fading, deteriorated sections – resurfacing could be exactly what you need rather than completely removing everything and beginning again. It’s an economical approach to restore your driveway’s appearance without the cost of total replacement.
During our complimentary visit, our tarmac driveway specialists for Holywell can thoroughly inspect the existing surface and supply you with a comprehensive breakdown of the work and the optimal options for moving forward.
What Is Resurfacing?
Resurfacing involves applying a new layer of tarmac over your existing driveway. We’re not excavating anything – we’re simply installing a fresh wearing course on top of what’s currently there.
Consider it similar to laying new carpet over floorboards rather than replacing the entire floor. The existing base remains intact, and we typically apply 25-40mm of new tarmac on top. You finish with what appears and functions like a completely new driveway.
When Resurfacing Makes Sense
Surface Damage Only
If the issues are at the surface level – fading, minor cracking, deteriorated areas, patches – but the base remains solid underneath, resurfacing is the ideal solution. We’re addressing the cosmetic and surface-level problems without 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 problems, the foundation is performing its function and doesn’t require replacement.
Budget Considerations
Resurfacing costs approximately 40-50% less than a completely new driveway. You’re economizing on excavation, disposal, and base materials. If the base is sound, there’s no reason to spend money replacing 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 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 area for you, and since the base is already established, you can achieve considerable savings.
