“We had a great experience with really friendly and professional people on site, job done quickly, consulted at every stage. The work carried out was levelling a very uneven patch of ground, rotivating the soil and laying fresh turf. A small retaining wall was also done around one of the edges to finish it off. Great work at a high standard”

Tarmac driveways in Lydney: Homeowners vs renters

For homeowners

You’re responsible for maintaining your driveway. Planning permission usually isn’t needed, unless the driveway directs rainwater onto the road. Surfaces should be permeable or have proper drainage. Always check with your local council if you’re unsure.

For renters

Landlords are generally responsible for major driveway repairs. If it’s unsafe (potholes, uneven surfaces), report it to your landlord or managing agent. Cosmetic upgrades like coloured tarmac usually need landlord approval.

For a two-car tarmac driveway (50m²), expect to pay around £4,500 on average.

A driveway resurfacing company will typically charge between £150 - £200 per day on average.

The size and condition of your driveway will impact your total cost.

Yes, if the existing base is solid and level. If the old surface is cracked or sinking, it’s usually better to start from scratch for a longer-lasting result.

A well-laid tarmac driveway typically lasts 15 - 20 years. Regular maintenance, good drainage, and sealing cracks early will extend its lifespan.

Wait at least 3 - 5 days before driving or parking on new tarmac, and up to a week if possible. This gives the surface time to harden properly.

Usually not. The main exception is if your drive channels rainwater onto the road. To avoid issues, your driveway should be permeable, drain to a lawn or drain to a soakaway.

Costs vary depending on local labour rates, but expect similar ranges to the UK average: £50 - £70 per m².

Get multiple quotes from checked tradespeople in Lydney to compare fairly.

Tarmac is often one of the most affordable options. It’s usually cheaper than block paving and resin, while still offering durability and a clean finish.

Yes, a well-laid tarmac driveway can improve kerb appeal and make your home more attractive to buyers. While it might not add thousands to your house price directly, it gives a strong first impression and can help your property sell quicker.

Yes, proper drainage is important. Without it, water can pool and damage the surface. Most driveway specialists will include drainage solutions in their quote, such as a soakaway or directing water onto a lawn.

In the UK, “tarmac” is the more common term, but asphalt is a very similar material. Asphalt usually has a slightly smoother finish and can sometimes be more durable. For most homes, both options work well.
