Why tarmac
Why Choose Tarmac for Your Handforth Driveway?
Tarmac is quick to lay, tough and good value over a large area. It copes with heavy vehicles, gives a smooth, seamless finish and is easy to maintain.
Short, level Handforth frontages suit tarmac because it gives a seamless surface for the budget. Customers here often choose black tarmac with a grey block border, red tarmac with a charcoal kerb, or a strip of setts at the pavement to finish the edge. We also resurface cracked concrete, repair potholes and widen drives so a van and the family car fit together without overhanging the path.

Resurfacing
Signs Your Handforth Driveway Needs Resurfacing
Cracks spreading across the drive
Water gets in, freezes and breaks the surface up further.
Potholes and loose stone
Once the surface starts to fret, patches rarely last.
Puddles that never drain
Low spots mean the surface or base has sunk.
Faded, grey and tired
Old tarmac loses its colour and starts to look worn.

Local knowledge
Tarmac Parking for Wilmslow Road, Handforth Hall and Handforth Dean
Handforth has a lot of post-war housing built with single-width drives and small front gardens. The usual problems are sunken concrete, weeds pushing through the joints and water pooling near the front door because the falls were never right. Families now want space for two cars, so we often widen the drive and take up part of the lawn. Roads near the A34 and the retail park are busy, which makes off-road parking valuable. Cheshire East Council handles any crossing application, and we can talk you through it.

FAQs
FAQs - Tarmac Driveways in Handforth
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
Can you tarmac over existing tarmac?
Often, yes. If the existing tarmac is sound and the levels allow, we repair cracks and soft spots, apply a tack coat and lay a new surface course over the top. If it is breaking up, sinking or would end up too high against the house or the kerb, we dig out and start from a proper base.
Is the use of tarmac environmentally friendly?
Tarmac (asphalt) is one of the most recycled construction materials: old surfaces can be planed off and reused in new mixes. It is not permeable, so on a front driveway we make sure rainwater runs to a lawn, border or soakaway rather than onto the road.
How long will tarmac last?
A well-laid tarmac driveway typically lasts 12 to 15 years before it needs resurfacing or major repair. Small repairs to cracks may be needed over time, but other than that it needs very little maintenance.
How easy is tarmac to maintain?
Very easy. A sweep and an occasional jet wash keep it looking good. Keep weeds off the edges and get any cracks sealed early so water cannot get underneath.
How much does a tarmac driveway cost in Handforth?
Handforth tarmac driveway prices depend on the area, how much old concrete or paving needs taking up, the depth of base, edging and drainage. Widening the parking area or adding a soakaway also affects the cost. We measure at a free survey and give you a fixed written price. To arrange a visit, call 01625 404543.
Do you ever use sub-contractors for your tarmac driveways?
No. Our tarmac driveways are always laid by our own qualified and fully insured team. We never use sub-contractors, so the people who survey your drive are the people who build it.
Is tarmac a good choice for a Handforth driveway?
Tarmac is a practical choice for most Handforth homes, giving a durable surface for cars and vans at a sensible price. Because frontages are flat, we fall the drive towards a soakaway or a planted strip so it complies with the permeable front garden rules. Strong edging stops it spreading. If you prefer a patterned or lighter finish, block paving or resin is worth comparing.
Do I need planning permission for a tarmac driveway?
In England, a new front driveway over 5 square metres that is not permeable needs planning permission if rainwater runs onto the road. If it drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within your property, it usually does not. We plan the falls and drainage so your new drive stays within the rules.
