In Sanderstead, tarmac driveway pricing typically falls between £40 and £70 per square metre, depending on excavation depth, sub-base condition and edging choices. As a guide, many CR2 homeowners spend around £1,600 to £3,500 for a standard domestic driveway. Costs can rise for extensive groundwork, complex levels, drainage improvements, or decorative features such as red tarmac and block or kerb edging.
Most tarmac driveway projects take 1–2 days from start to finish, especially where the existing base is sound and access is straightforward. Timescales can extend if we need to excavate more deeply, rebuild the sub-base, install drainage, or coordinate a dropped kerb. Weather and curing time also play a part. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a site visit and keep disruption to a minimum.
In many cases, driveway works are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage and changes to access. If you’re creating a new driveway or increasing the paved area, you may need to ensure surface water drains to a permeable area or suitable system rather than the highway. Dropped kerbs are typically handled via the council’s approved process. We’ll advise what’s likely required for your Croydon property before work begins.
Yes. Our tarmac driveway installations and resurfacing come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship-related issues such as premature cracking, sinking caused by poor compaction, or edge failure where we’ve installed restraints. It doesn’t cover damage from heavy commercial vehicles, accidental impact, or problems caused by pre-existing underground issues we couldn’t reasonably identify. We’ll explain what’s included in writing and provide aftercare guidance to protect the finish.
You can choose standard black tarmac for a clean, modern look, or red tarmac for a warmer, more distinctive finish. We can add decorative edging using kerbs, setts or contrasting borders to sharpen the outline and protect the edges. If your existing drive is structurally sound, tarmac resurfacing is a cost-effective refresh. We’ll recommend the best option based on your levels, drainage needs and the style of your home.
