How we lay it
Assessment & quote
We look at the damage and give you a free quote, with an honest repair-or-resurface recommendation.
Cut out & prepare
We cut back to sound material and prepare the area so the repair bonds and lasts.
Lay & compact
We lay and compact the new tarmac for an even, hard wearing finish.
Finish & aftercare
We tidy up and let you know how to look after the repaired surface.
A small repair done at the right time can help avoid a much bigger job later. Water getting into a crack or pothole is what does the real damage, so dealing with it early keeps the base sound and the cost down. When you ask us out, we will tell you honestly whether a patch repair will sort it or whether the surface has reached the point where resurfacing is the better value.
For new surfaces see our tarmac and asphalt surfacing, and for larger access roads, yards and commercial surfacing we repair and resurface at scale too. If your driveway is beyond repair, a fresh driveway may be the smarter long-term choice.

Frequently asked questions
Should I repair or resurface my driveway?
It depends on the condition. If the base is sound and the damage is localised, a repair is usually the better value. If the surface is breaking up across the whole area or the base has failed, resurfacing will last far longer. We will give you an honest recommendation.
What is hot tar spraying and chipping?
Also known as surface dressing or tar and chip, it is a layer of hot binder topped with stone chippings, rolled in to give a tough, textured, well sealed finish. It suits driveways and rural or private roads, and can refresh a tired surface cost effectively.
Can you match my existing tarmac?
We will get as close a match as possible, though new tarmac is darker at first and lightens as it weathers. For larger areas, resurfacing the whole section gives the most even, consistent appearance.
Do you repair commercial surfaces and car parks?
Yes. We patch and resurface car parks, yards, private roads and access areas for businesses, farms and estates across East Lothian and the surrounding areas.
