Tarmac Driveways in Sevenoaks, TN13

If you want a dependable, hard-wearing drive in Sevenoaks without the price tag of other surfaces, tarmac is hard to beat. Laid hot onto a properly compacted base, it forms a tough surface that copes with cars, vans and the British weather.

Our team prepares the ground, fixes edging, and lays and rolls the tarmac in courses, so the finished drive is even, well drained and built to last.

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 Sevenoaks

Tarmac is ideal for the long and sloping drives found around Sevenoaks, where it’s often the most practical surface to cover a large area. We lay new tarmac drives and resurface worn ones in Sevenoaks, Sevenoaks Weald, Otford and Kemsing, and can add kerbs, drainage and passing places on longer drives. For rural properties, tar and chip over tarmac is another option that gives a more natural look. We cover TN13, TN14 and TN15.

Sevenoaks has more larger detached homes, period properties and long or sloping drives than most of our patch, along with several conservation areas around the town.

Vehicle crossings on Kent roads are approved by Kent County Council. If your home is in one of Sevenoaks’ conservation areas, we’ll also flag anything that may need a conversation with Sevenoaks District Council.

Tarmac Driveways in Sevenoaks: FAQs

Is tarmac good for a long or steep drive near Sevenoaks?

Yes. Tarmac is durable and economical over large areas, and gives good grip. On steeper sections we pay extra attention to compaction and edge restraint, and can finish with tar and chip if you'd like a more rural look.

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.

Can you tarmac over my old driveway?

If the existing base is sound, an overlay may be possible. If it's cracking or sinking, it's better to dig out and lay a new base.

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.

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 Sevenoaks and the surrounding area?

Yes. We work across TN13, TN14 and TN15, including Riverhead, Dunton Green, Kippington, Sevenoaks Weald, Otford. Our base is in Meopham, about 10 miles away, and site visits and quotes are free.
