How long does a tarmac driveway take to lay in Slip End?

Most residential tarmac driveways in Slip End are completed inside two to four working days from excavation through to the finished roll.

Your tarmac driveway contractor will schedule around settled weather windows and confirm an installation date at quote stage.

Do I need planning permission for a new tarmac drive in Slip End?
