How long does a tarmac driveway take to lay in Thornton Heath?

Most residential tarmac driveways in Thornton Heath 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 Thornton Heath?

Within Thornton Heath (CR7), planning permission for tarmac is generally unnecessary provided you include drainage to a permeable area, soakaway or ACO channel.

A qualified tarmac driveway contractor will design the falls and drainage so the job sits inside permitted development.
