      Some happy customer reviews from CheckaTrade

      Tar and shingle driveway

      SCL transformed our driveway from an uneven concrete slab to an expensive looking gravel driveway - for a fraction of the cost of resin options. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SCL to others if you are looking for a similar makeover for your driveway. Quote was reasonable and he came in on budget.

      Tarmac a large patch on our driveway

      SCL did an excellent job on something that has been bothering us on our driveway for years. We had them come to tarmac an old gravelled flowerbed that we parked on and was starting to come in to disrepair. After getting extortionate quotes that put us off initially, we tried again and thankfully found SCL who was far more reasonable on cost and did exactly what we needed - even offering a compromise option that made it an even better price, knowing it was not long term. SCL were very communicative and were very polite. Would definitely recommend Signature Contracts.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is the difference between tarmac and asphalt?

      Although the terms are often used interchangeably, asphalt contains a higher percentage of stone aggregate, making it more durable and better suited to heavier traffic. Both provide excellent surfaces for driveways, roads and commercial areas, and we'll recommend the best option for your project.

      How long does a tarmac driveway last?

      A professionally installed tarmac driveway can last 20 years or more with proper maintenance. The lifespan depends on the quality of the foundations, drainage and installation.

      How much does a tarmac driveway cost?

      The cost depends on the size of your driveway, the condition of the existing surface and the amount of preparation work required. Contact SCL for a free, no-obligation quotation tailored to your property.

      Can you resurface an existing tarmac driveway?

      Yes. If the existing base is structurally sound, resurfacing can restore the appearance and performance of your driveway without requiring a full replacement. We'll assess your driveway and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

      Is tarmac suitable for domestic driveways?

      Absolutely. Tarmac is one of the UK's most popular driveway materials thanks to its durability, affordability and low maintenance requirements. It also provides a clean, modern finish suitable for both traditional and contemporary homes.

      How long before I can drive on new tarmac?

      Most new tarmac driveways can be walked on within 24 hours and driven on after approximately 2-5 days, depending on weather conditions and temperatures.

      Does tarmac require much maintenance?

      Very little. Regular sweeping and occasional cleaning will keep your driveway looking its best. Promptly repairing any damage and keeping drainage channels clear will also help maximise its lifespan.

      What areas do you cover?

      SCL installs tarmac and asphalt driveways throughout London, Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and across the wider South East and East Anglia.

      Do you install commercial tarmac surfaces?

      Yes. Alongside domestic driveways, we install commercial tarmac surfacing including car parks, private roads, access roads, industrial yards and forecourts.
