Our process starts with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage falls and the best entry point for machinery. We prepare a stable sub-base, install edging where required, then lay and compact the tarmac for a dense, even finish. You’ll get clear guidance on curing times and aftercare so the surface beds in properly. Homeowners choose us for punctual scheduling, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re on-site in around 10 minutes, which helps with quick surveys and responsive aftercare. Many streets around the River Wandle have tighter access and limited parking, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and compaction equipment accordingly. We also factor in typical Merton frontage levels and existing paving thresholds to avoid awkward steps at the entrance. Where a dropped kerb is needed, we’ll advise on the correct approach and coordinate around council requirements.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Colliers Wood, tarmac driveway installations typically fall within £40–£70 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, sub-base condition, edging and drainage. Many homeowners spend around £1,600–£3,500 for an average-sized driveway, but larger areas or complex access can increase costs. Resurfacing can be more cost-effective than a full dig-out when the base is sound. We’ll confirm pricing after a site survey.
Most tarmac driveway projects take 1–2 days, covering preparation, base works and laying the surface. Small repairs can be completed faster, while full replacements may take longer if excavation is needed or if we’re installing decorative edging and drainage channels. Weather, access for machinery, and curing time can affect the schedule. We’ll provide a clear programme and advise when it’s safe to park on the new surface.
Most driveway surfacing works are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage, impermeable surfaces and changes to access. If you’re creating or altering a dropped kerb, approval is usually required from the relevant highway authority. We’re experienced with tarmac driveways in London Borough of Merton and will flag any likely permissions during the survey. Where needed, we’ll guide you through compliant drainage and the right next steps.
