Caterham Tarmac Driveway
Tarmac Driveway Ideas in Caterham
Caterham Tarmac drives are known for being a durable and easy-to-maintain surface, making them a popular choice for residential driveways in Caterham and across the UK.
As well as a host of other benefits, Tarmac driveways in Caterham CR3 are porous, meaning water can flow freely through the surface to reduce the risk of flooding or puddles. However, in some instances, we recommend installing drainage to deal with surface water.
Our experienced Caterham tarmac driveway specialists ensure a smooth and even surface finish every time.

Installing Driveway Drains in Caterham
For some properties, especially those below street level, it’s difficult to solve the drainage problem with correct driveway placement and the slope alone. In this situation, drainage grates and/or soakaways may need to be installed.
A trench drain, also known as a French drain in Caterham CR3, can be fitted where the driveway meets the property to reduce the likelihood of flooding. Drains are covered by a metal grate to keep them free of debris that may cause the drain to clog.

FAQs for Caterham Tarmac Drives
As a completely natural and fully recyclable material, Tarmacadam can be considered one of the most environmentally friendly methods of surfacing available in Caterham.
Asphalt and tarmacadam are typically black in colour. This is because the binder that is mixed with the chosen aggregates, bitumen, is a viscous black liquid. However, Tarmac can also be produced in a range of colour variations like red. This is achieved by adding coloured pigment in the mixing process.
On average, the lifespan of tarmacadam is between 12-15 years before it will need to be replaced or undergo major driveway repair work. Through years of heavy use and exposure to the elements, minor repairs to cracks and potholes may need to be completed, however other than this, very little maintenance work is required.
Some driveway types require much more maintenance than others. If you’re looking for driveway material that needs little maintenance, then resin bound or Tarmac are your best options.
Resin bound driveways just need a hose clean and sweep to ensure the surface remains looking perfect.
Tarmacadam and asphalt don’t have the natural stone appearance of resin bound, but they typically last a very long time without any maintenance required.
Tarmac is renowned for being easy to maintain as regular jet washing should be all that’s needed to keep it looking great and functioning effectively.
If you get any cracks or sunken spots, we can perform a driveway repair.
