Driveway & Surface Resurfacing in Maidstone
A cracked, sunken or worn driveway or path doesn't always need digging out completely. Connerty Construction resurfaces tarmac and hardstanding across Maidstone, restoring a smooth, durable finish where the underlying sub-base is still sound, and going deeper where it isn't.
The first job on any resurfacing project is working out why the existing surface has failed. Cracking and potholing are often a sign of a sub-base that's moved or broken down, in which case resurfacing over the top would just fail again — so we check this before recommending a course of action.
Where the base is sound, we can plane back or overlay the existing surface and lay a new tarmac finish, restoring falls and drainage in the process. Where it isn't, we'll explain why and what a proper repair involves before quoting.
This applies equally to driveways, footpaths and small areas of commercial or shared hardstanding — the process is the same, just scaled to the site.

Can you resurface over an existing driveway?
Sometimes — it depends on the condition of the sub-base underneath. If it's sound, an overlay is often quicker and more cost-effective than a full rebuild.
How long will a resurfaced driveway last?
A properly prepared tarmac resurface typically lasts 15 to 20 years, though this depends on ground conditions, drainage and everyday use.
Do you resurface footpaths, not just driveways?
Yes, we resurface footpaths and small areas of hardstanding as well as driveways, using the same preparation and finishing approach.
