Loss or Breakdown of the Binder (Resin)

The “resin” or bitumen binder in tarmac is what holds the aggregate (stones and sand) together. Over time, UV rays from the sun, weathering, and oxidation cause the binder to dry out and lose its flexibility. When this happens, the tarmac becomes brittle, making it prone to cracking and crumbling.

Cold lay repair is a quick and effective way to fix potholes, cracks, and damaged areas on your tarmac surface without needing hot machinery or extensive preparation.

Tarmac Restoration

Tarmac Sealer

Tarmac sealer protects your driveway from weather, cracks, and stains, while restoring its rich black finish. It improves appearance, extends lifespan, and helps you avoid costly repairs.

Protect Your Tarmac Driveway — Seal It Before It's Too Late

Your tarmac driveway works hard every day — from withstanding the weight of your vehicles to facing down harsh weather conditions. Over time, exposure to sun, rain, frost, and oil can cause serious wear and tear. Cracks, fading, and crumbling edges don’t just look bad — they lead to costly repairs or even full resurfacing.

Why Sealing Your Tarmac Matters

✅ Prevents Cracking & Erosion
Water seeps into small cracks and freezes, expanding and breaking the surface. A quality sealant acts as a barrier.

✅ Protects Against UV Damage
Direct sunlight dries out and fades tarmac, causing it to become brittle. Sealing locks in oils that keep it flexible and rich in color.

✅ Repels Oil, Fuel & Chemicals
Vehicle leaks can stain and weaken the surface. Sealing provides resistance against these common contaminants.

✅ Restores the Deep Black Finish
Give your driveway that “just-laid” look. A sealed tarmac surface looks sharper, cleaner, and increases kerb appeal instantly.

✅ Saves You Money Long-Term
Routine sealing is far cheaper than repairing cracks or resurfacing your entire drive.
