How long does tarmac driveway installation near me typically take?

Most driveway installations take between 2 to 5 days, depending on the size, existing groundwork, and weather conditions. Proper curing time is important for durability.

Will a local company provide a warranty or guarantee on their work?

Professional tarmac companies typically offer a workmanship guarantee that lasts for 5 years or more. This warranty usually covers common issues such as cracking, subsidence, or surface wear and tear. A solid guarantee reflects the company’s confidence in their materials and craftsmanship, providing you with peace of mind that any problems arising from installation defects will be addressed promptly and at no extra cost.

Is it necessary for the tarmac installer to have insurance?

Absolutely! Your chosen installer should have up-to-date public liability insurance to protect both you and their workers. This insurance covers any accidental damage to your property or injuries that occur during the installation process. Hiring an insured company minimizes your risk and ensures you’re not financially liable for unexpected incidents during the project.

What should I expect during the tarmac installation process?

The installation starts with clearing the area of any grass, roots, and debris, followed by excavation to a depth of around 200-250mm to create a stable foundation. A compacted sub-base of crushed stone or hardcore is laid next to ensure stability and drainage. Then the tarmac is applied in two layers, the base course and the top wearing course, each spread evenly and compacted with rollers for a smooth, durable finish. The edges are finished with kerbs or edging stones, and the surface is left to cool and cure for 24-48 hours before use.

Groundwork & Foundations- 28 Apr 2015
Dominic was very prompt in replying to my job and expeditious thereafter in getting the job done at a good price. He was very accommodating in getting the work carried out over a weekend to suit my timetable and even supplying a ground worker at short notice beforehand to assist in a foundation dig that had to be complete prior to a Building Control visit and concrete pour. Both he and his staff are friendly, courteous and nothing is a problem even if the job dynamic changes. I couldn't believe how well the site was cleared given the amount of material removed and that a grab loader was used - a suggestion by Dominic instead of using more costlier skips. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use Domco again for any work in the future.

Decking- 8 Jan 2019
WARNING!!! We hired joseph and his company to do some garden works for us. He seemed a genuinely nice guy and prided himself on the fact his company had been on tv doing DIY SOS. How they got the job i will never know!! After taking a VERY large deposit from me the work commenced, it was an absolute shambles. Extremely poor workmanship, turned up when he wanted and sometimes it was just his apprentice. After 2 weeks and the garden not even half done (eventually had a proper landscaping company do the works in only 3 days), Joseph failed to turn up again. He blocked our numbers, failed to respond to emails and from doing some research it turns out i am on a long list of clients he has done this too!! Please beware of any company Mr Joseph Keatley is involved with, he might seem genuine to begin with but that soon changes when he has taken your money!!!!

Plastering- 19 Dec 2011
Nathan did a fantastic job repairing the render on the front of our house, and then painting it. His price was fair and he did a great job to a high standard, despite the weather being against him. Nathan turned up early every day, communicated with us throughout the job, cleaned up after himself and was very polite and courteous. Our neighbours have comented on what a good job he has done with such little fuss, very impressed! Will be hiring him again in the future and would recommend him to anyone!!

I think Anthony is best described as he and his staff take pride in their work. I had a new block-paved drive done. All way through he advised me on the best options and ideas I would not have thought of such as ensuring that any rainwater took the best path towards drains rather than merely ending up in the garden. I would thoroughly recommend Hennerleys for work.

Work done in a rush, patio is not even and forms puddles when it rains, after several attempts to get them finish the job properly, we gave up on calling. If you hire them for your job, make sure you dont pay until absolutely everything is done and finished and is according to what has been agreed to be done.

Handyman- 19 Nov 2020
I had booked Stephen to carry out a job and had agreed a date and time for him to come round to carry out the works. Following an email exchange the morning of the job, he informed me he wouldn't be in the area until 2 hours after the agreed time. He then didn't show up at all. I have had no communication from him since to either apologise or rearrange the job.
