How long does a tarmac driveway take to lay in Wickford?

Most residential tarmac driveways in Wickford are completed inside two to four working days from excavation through to the finished roll. Weather is the main variable — hot tarmac needs dry conditions to go down well. 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 Wickford?
