In the UK, the terms asphalt and tarmac are often used interchangeably. Technically, modern driveways use asphalt (also known as bitmacadam), which is stronger and more durable than traditional tar-based materials. Norfolk Asphalt Surfacing are professionals in installing various forms of asphalt/tarmac surfaces to suit a variety of properties, differing in aggregate size and specification.

In many cases, yes — provided the existing base is still solid and hasn’t failed.
If your driveway isn’t sinking or heavily cracked, we can often overlay it with a new layer of asphalt. This is more cost-effective than a full excavation and can significantly extend its lifespan and add kerb appeal. Resurfacing is a great option for many properties.
If the foundation underneath has deteriorated, a full replacement may be required. We’ll always assess the condition first and advise the most durable, long-term solution.
