FAQS – New Driveways in Birmingham
A well-maintained tarmac driveway can last for approximately 15 to 20 years. However, the lifespan may vary depending on factors such as the quality of the initial installation, regular maintenance, and the level of usage. Proper care, such as sealing and addressing cracks or potholes promptly, can help prolong the lifespan of a tarmac driveway. It is normally recommended that a waiting period of 24-48 hours passes before driving or parking on your new driveway but walking across is fine after 2-3 hours. Block paving laid on a subbase is stronger than concrete itself. You should expect it to last a lifetime as long as due care is taken with your driveway in the form of regular maintenance. Yes, tarmac driveways can be resurfaced or repaired. Over time, tarmac surfaces may develop cracks, potholes, or other signs of wear and tear. These issues can be addressed by patching or resurfacing the affected areas. Regular maintenance, such as resealing every few years, can also help extend the life of the driveway and prevent the need for major repairs. The life expectancy of a resin bound driveway is over 15 years. It’s good practice to provide maintenance to your driveway usually in the form of regular sweeping, jet washing and the occasional sanding. Permeable surfaces (also known as porous or pervious surfaces) allow water to percolate into the soil and filter out pollutants, recharging the water table. Tarmac/Asphalt, Resin Bound, Gravel/Shingle and Block Paving are all classes as permeable surfaces. Resin-bound driveway is the recommended surface type for a sloping driveway One of the main reasons why your block paving sunk is because the drive was not done properly. In most cases, the reason is ground preparation. Your company probably didn’t dig enough out. To get a good block paving, the company setting your driveway needs to dig out down to good solid ground. Before you start, make sure to select the right sealant for the specific type of paving you have – concrete or clay. There are a wide range of sealants available and you would be best advised to select one that is specifically suited to your type of paving, to minimise issues from arising. Despite their name, all-purpose sealants are actually largely ineffective, offering a one-size fits all approach, as opposed to more targeted tackling of weed growth. Select the sealant that will give you the effect you are looking for: matt, wet look, damp look, low sheen or neutral. In terms of cost, you really do get what you pay for. Generally speaking, the more expensive the sealant, the better it will be. Tarmac driveways offer several advantages, including durability, low maintenance requirements, and quick installation. Tarmac is a strong and resilient material that can withstand heavy vehicle traffic. It is also resistant to weather conditions, such as rain and frost. Additionally, tarmac driveways can be easily repaired and resurfaced if necessary. This depends on the type and condition of your existing driveway. It should be laid on an appropriate sub-base of either asphalt or concrete. A new driveway must be at least 10ft to 12ft wide (3m to 3.6m), as anything smaller will present challenges for drivers. We say your new resin bound system is weed resistant rather than weed free. Whilst nothing will grow up through the surface, air born seedlings may land on top, causing a small amount of growth. We recommend applying a weed killer once or twice a year if this should happen. One major difference between the two is that in a resin bonded system, the stone is only bonded to the resin on one side. In contrast, a resin bound driveway features a multi-layer stone surface, with a much smoother finish.
