How Much Does a Tarmac Driveway Cost?
The cost of a tarmac driveway in the UK typically ranges from £1,500 to £6,000 or more, depending on the size of the area, the depth of the sub-base required, and any additional prep work such as excavation or drainage improvements. For an average-sized residential driveway of around 40–50 square metres, most homeowners in Somerset can expect to pay somewhere in the region of £2,500 to £4,000. These figures are a general guide, and the final price will depend on the specific requirements of your property.
It’s worth remembering that investing in a properly laid tarmac driveway adds real value to your home and avoids the cost of repeated repairs down the line. Cheap quotes can sometimes mean corners are cut on the sub-base preparation, which is the most critical part of any driveway installation. At Elite Property Solutions, we always ensure the groundwork is done correctly so your driveway performs well for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a tarmac driveway last?
A professionally laid tarmac driveway can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years or more with proper maintenance. The longevity depends on the quality of the sub-base, the materials used, and how well the surface is cared for over time. Regular sealing and prompt repair of any minor cracks will help extend its lifespan significantly.
How long does it take to install a tarmac driveway in Burnham-on-Sea?
Most standard residential tarmac driveways can be completed within one to two days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Larger driveways or those requiring significant excavation and drainage work may take a little longer. Our team will give you a clear timeframe when we provide your quote.
Do I need planning permission for a tarmac driveway?
In most cases, planning permission is not required for a new driveway in England, provided the surface area is under 5 square metres or the surface allows water to drain naturally. However, if your driveway will be larger and uses an impermeable material like standard tarmac, you may need to incorporate drainage features or apply for permission. We can advise you on this during your free survey.
How soon can I use my driveway after it’s been laid?
We generally recommend waiting at least 24 to 48 hours before driving on a newly laid tarmac surface. In warmer weather, it’s wise to avoid parking heavy vehicles on it for a few days while the surface fully cures. Our team will give you specific aftercare guidance at the end of your installation.
Can you resurface an existing driveway instead of replacing it?
Yes, in many cases resurfacing an existing tarmac driveway is a cost-effective option rather than a full replacement. This works well when the sub-base is still in good condition but the surface layer has become worn or damaged. During our site visit, we’ll assess your existing driveway and recommend the most suitable and economical solution for your circumstances.
Is tarmac a good choice for driveways in Somerset’s climate?
Tarmac is an excellent choice for the UK climate, including Somerset’s wetter winters. It handles freeze-thaw cycles well and drains surface water effectively when properly laid with the correct falls. It’s also quick to install and can be driven on much sooner than some alternatives, making it a practical and popular choice for homeowners in the Burnham-on-Sea area.
Do you offer a guarantee on your tarmac driveway work?
Yes, Elite Property Solutions stands behind the quality of all our work. We offer a workmanship guarantee on our tarmac driveways, giving you complete peace of mind that any issues arising from the installation will be addressed promptly and professionally. We’ll discuss the specific terms of our guarantee with you before work begins.
