Tarmac Driveways in Orpington, BR6

Tarmac (asphalt or macadam) is the most practical, cost-effective way to surface a driveway. It’s quick to lay, takes heavy traffic and gives a smooth, clean black finish that suits almost any home.

We lay new tarmac driveways and resurface tired ones across Orpington, with options for block paving borders, kerb edging and drainage to give a neat, long-lasting result.

Tarmac options and finishes

Most driveways are laid with a binder course and a smooth surface course of dense macadam. Where an existing tarmac drive is still structurally sound, an overlay can be a lower-cost option. Edging can be concrete kerbs, block paving borders or timber, and a red or coloured finish is possible for paths. We’ll explain which option suits your drive and budget.

Local tarmacadam specialists in Orpington

We lay tarmac driveways throughout Orpington, from compact frontages on 1930s semis to wider drives in Farnborough, Chelsfield and Green Street Green. Tarmac is practical and quick to lay, and with a contrasting border it gives a neat, finished look. Orpington is part of the London Borough of Bromley, which deals with vehicle crossover applications, so we’ll advise if you need a new or wider dropped kerb.

Orpington is largely 1930s and post-war semis and detached homes, with the Petts Wood conservation areas just to the north and village-style properties around Farnborough and Chelsfield.

We cover Orpington and nearby areas including: Chelsfield, Green Street Green, Locksbottom, St Mary Cray, Crofton, Goddington, Pratts Bottom. Our base in Meopham is about 11 miles away, so a free site visit is easy to arrange.

Tarmac Driveways in Orpington: FAQs

Do you add borders to tarmac drives in Orpington?

Yes. A single or double row of block paving, or a kerb edge, gives a tarmac drive a sharp, finished edge and protects it from fraying.

How long does a tarmac driveway last?

A well-laid tarmac drive on a good base typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more with basic care.

When can I drive on new tarmac?

You can usually drive on it the same or next day, but avoid sharp turning on the spot and parking in the same place in hot weather for the first few weeks.

Can you add a border to a tarmac drive?

Yes. Block paving borders and kerb edging are a popular way to frame a tarmac driveway.

Is tarmac permeable?

Standard tarmac isn't, so we lay it with a fall to a drain, soakaway or planted area. Porous asphalt is an option where needed.

Do you cover Orpington and the surrounding area?

Yes. We work across BR5 and BR6, including Petts Wood, Farnborough, Chelsfield, Green Street Green, Locksbottom. Our base is in Meopham, about 11 miles away, and site visits and quotes are free.
