Why Choose Tarmac (Tarmacadam) for Your Driveway?
LOCAL TARMAC HOME IMPROVEMENT SERVICES
Tarmac remains one of the most popular driveway surfacing options in Colchester, Chelmsford, and the surrounding areas—and for good reason. Known for its exceptional durability, tarmac easily withstands heavy use, harsh weather, and temperature fluctuations without cracking or deteriorating. A properly installed tarmac driveway can last 15–20 years with minimal upkeep, making it a highly cost-effective choice. Its quick installation process—often completed within just two to three days—minimises disruption to your daily routine while delivering outstanding results. Combined with its long lifespan and low maintenance requirements, tarmac offers excellent value for both residential and commercial properties.
Tarmac driveways deliver a smooth, modern finish that enhances your property’s kerb appeal. The uniform surface provides a sleek, contemporary look that complements all architectural styles and landscape designs. Maintenance is refreshingly simple, requiring only occasional cleaning and sealing to keep it looking its best for years. For those seeking an environmentally conscious option, we also offer SUDS-compliant tarmac solutions that allow water to drain efficiently, reducing the risk of flooding and ensuring compliance with sustainable drainage regulations—making tarmac a practical, attractive, and future-proof surfacing choice.
Our Tarmac Installation Process
PROFESSIONAL TARMACADAM INSTALLATIONS
At Taylorstone Contractors, we take a meticulous, step-by-step approach to ensure every tarmac driveway or surface we install meets our exacting standards and delivers long-lasting results in Colchester, Chelmsford, and the surrounding areas. Every project begins with a free site survey and consultation, where we assess your property, discuss your requirements, and provide expert advice on the best tarmac solution for your needs. You’ll then receive a detailed, no-obligation quote with transparent pricing. Once approved, our skilled team begins the groundwork and preparation stage—excavating the area to the required depth, installing proper drainage systems, and laying a robust sub-base to provide a stable and durable foundation that will stand the test of time.
Next, we carry out precision tarmac application using state-of-the-art equipment to apply the material at the optimal temperature, compacting it to the perfect density for a smooth, even finish with effective water drainage. We then install edging and decorative features of your choice to enhance both appearance and structure before conducting a comprehensive quality inspection to ensure every detail meets our rigorous standards. Once complete, we thoroughly clean the site, removing all equipment and materials, and provide clear guidance on caring for your new tarmac surface. Our efficient and professional process guarantees a clean, hassle-free installation that delivers exceptional results built to last.
