How much does an asphalt driveway cost in Boston Manor?

Asphalt driveways in Boston Manor typically cost £35-£60 per square metre, depending on the preparation work required and existing surface condition. A standard 50m² driveway usually costs between £1,750-£3,000 fully installed including all groundwork and drainage.

How long does an asphalt driveway last?

A professionally installed asphalt driveway typically lasts 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Regular sealing every 3-5 years can extend its lifespan significantly. Asphalt's flexibility makes it more resistant to cracking than rigid surfaces.

Is asphalt the same as tarmac?

Modern asphalt and tarmac are very similar - both use bitumen as a binder. Traditional tarmac used coal tar, but this is no longer used. Tarmac typically refers to a finer surface finish. We offer both standard asphalt and premium tarmac finishes for Boston Manor properties.

How long before I can drive on new asphalt?

You can walk on new asphalt within 24 hours and drive on it within 48-72 hours, depending on weather conditions. We recommend avoiding heavy vehicles or tight turning for the first week to allow the surface to fully cure.

Do you offer asphalt driveway repairs in Boston Manor?

Yes! We offer comprehensive asphalt driveway repairs including pothole filling, crack sealing, resurfacing, and edge repairs. For driveways with extensive damage, we can overlay a new asphalt surface without full excavation, saving time and money.

What's the difference between asphalt and other driveway options?

Asphalt is typically the most cost-effective option at £35-60/m², compared to resin (£60-100/m²) and block paving (£80-150/m²). Asphalt offers quick installation (1-2 days), excellent durability, and easy repairs. Block paving offers more design options, while resin provides better permeability.
