Tarmac and Asphalt Resurfacing Flint
If your existing tarmac driveway in Flint is showing its age – cracks, fading, worn patches – resurfacing might be all you need rather than ripping everything out and starting from scratch. It’s a cost-effective way to get your drive looking good again without the expense of a full replacement.
During our free visit, our tarmac driveway specialists can go visually inspect the existing surface and provide you with a detailed breakdown of the work and the best options for proceeding.
What Is Resurfacing?
Resurfacing means laying a new layer of tarmac over your existing driveway. We’re not digging anything up – we’re essentially putting a fresh wearing course on top of what’s already there.
Think of it like putting a new carpet over floorboards rather than replacing the whole floor. The existing base stays in place, and we typically add 25-40mm of new tarmac on top. You end up with what looks and performs like a brand new driveway.
When Resurfacing Makes Sense
Surface Damage Only
If the problems are on the surface – fading, minor cracking, worn areas, patches – but the base is still solid underneath, resurfacing is the way to go. We’re fixing the cosmetic and surface-level issues without unnecessary work.
Solid Foundation
The key requirement is that your existing base is sound. If there’s no major sinking, large potholes, or significant structural issues, the foundation is doing its job and doesn’t need replacing.
Budget Considerations
Resurfacing costs roughly 40-50% less than a completely new driveway. You’re saving on excavation, disposal, and base materials. If the base is fine, there’s no point in spending money to replace it.
Minimal Disruption
The job is quicker – usually 1-2 days rather than 3-5 for a full installation. Less mess, less time with vehicles off the drive, and you can use it again within 24-48 hours.
Another option for customers is to resurface the driveway using resin! It can completely transform the area for you, and since the base is already in place, you can make significant savings.
