Putney homeowners want driveways that look sharp and cope with constant comings and goings. Whether you’re near Putney Bridge or off Putney High Street, tarmac offers a neat, durable surface with fast installation. We install new tarmac driveways, carry out resurfacing, and complete repairs to worn or uneven areas. Expect a tidy site, clear edges and a finish that complements your frontage.
The Putney mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, plus riverside apartments, often means limited front-garden space and shared access points. In West Putney and East Putney, we regularly work around parked cars, narrow gates and existing paving details. Our team designs levels and falls to suit your property, helping prevent puddling and messy run-off. If you want added character, red tarmac and decorative edging can lift the look without overcomplicating maintenance.
We start with a site visit to measure, check drainage, and agree the finish, edging and any dropped kerb needs. Preparation is key: we excavate where required, install a stable sub-base, then lay and compact the tarmac for a smooth, long-lasting surface. You’ll get straightforward communication, safe working practices and a clear handover on care. Local clients choose us for reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.

A simple resurfacing can often be completed faster, while full dig-out and sub-base replacement takes longer.

We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work begins.
