Tarmac Removal FAQs
How much does tarmac removal cost?
Costs depend on the area size, tarmac thickness, and access. A typical domestic driveway costs £600-£1,500 including disposal. We provide free site surveys and accurate quotes with no hidden charges.
Can you remove just the tarmac layer?
Yes, we can plane off just the tarmac layer leaving the sub-base intact if it's in good condition. This is often the most cost-effective option when replacing a driveway surface.
What about the sub-base underneath?
We'll assess the sub-base condition during our survey. If it's in good condition, it can often be reused. If not, we can dig out and remove the sub-base as part of the project.
Is tarmac removal messy?
Modern equipment makes the process relatively clean. We contain debris during breaking and sweep the area afterwards. Some dust is inevitable but we minimise disruption.
Can you remove tarmac from awkward access areas?
Yes, we have compact equipment that can access rear gardens, narrow driveways, and other restricted areas. We'll discuss access requirements during the survey.
What happens to the old tarmac?
We take all waste to licensed recycling facilities. Most tarmac is processed and reused in new road construction projects, making it an environmentally responsible disposal method.
