Raising level of drive
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.10 PM
Hi The tarmac driveway of my house was raised the level of one house brick to get a better fall. It is laid right up against the brickwork. When installing a new drive, will it separate cleanly from the brick when being dug out or will this cause damage? I’m afraid it will have bonded to the bricks and pull them out when being removed. The bricks are concrete. Any advice about how this could be done without causing damage would be much appreciated. Thank you

Hi, there may be some discoloration where the two surfaces have met but under normal circumstances it is safe to remove without any damage to neighbouring surfaces. Hope this helps. OverHall Pro

Hi, the previous answers are correct, there are also tar and bitumen removers on the market, that could be used to remove any stubborn marks.
