Revive, seal, and protect your faded or cracked tarmac surfaces without the massive expense of a total replacement. Operating within a 45-mile radius of Crewkerne across Somerset, Dorset, and Devon, our firefighter-led team delivers a comprehensive restoration process that restores lost resins, deeply enriches colour, and seals your driveway against future weathering.
Tarmac is an excellent, durable choice for driveways and commercial forecourts, but it suffers significantly under constant UV exposure and heavy rainfall. Over time, the essential oils and binding resins within the tarmac dry out, causing the surface to fade from a rich black to a dull, weathered grey. As it loses its flexibility, the tarmac becomes brittle, leading to surface fretting, loose stone aggregates, and eventual cracking or potholing. Standard pressure washing can wash away surface dirt, but it cannot restore these lost chemical properties, and if done too aggressively, it can actually accelerate the unraveling of an unsealed, brittle tarmac surface.
At Cleanflow Exteriors, we treat tarmac restoration as a precise, multi-stage rejuvenation treatment. We begin by gently clearing away all moss, weeds, and deep-seated environmental grime using calibrated low-pressure machinery that protects the delicate substrate. After executing necessary minor repairs to cracks and minor depressions, we apply a premium, commercial-grade tarmac sealer and recolourer. This specialized coating does not just sit on top like cheap paint; it penetrates deep into the asphalt to replace lost resins, restore a flawless deep-black finish, and re-bind loose particles, leaving your driveway fully reinforced and beautifully refreshed.
Allowing a tarmac driveway to dry out and crack severely diminishes your property’s value and paves the way for complete structural failure. Relying on our qualified, firefighter-led restoration service delivers critical protective and financial advantages that extend the lifespan of your surface by years.
UV rays from the sun constantly bleach tarmac, leaving it looking aged, tired, and grey. Our premium restoration process injects high-quality pigments back into the surface matrix, completely masking old stains and restoring that striking, rich, deep-black look that instantly boosts your home’s kerb appeal.
As tarmac ages and loses its natural oils, the stones holding it together begin to break loose and wash away—a process known as fretting. Our specialized restoration coating penetrates the surface to replenish these vital binding resins, locking the stone aggregates back into place and restoring structural flexibility.
Once tarmac becomes porous, water seeps into the sub-base. During the winter, this water freezes and expands, causing severe cracking, crumbling, and potholes. By applying a durable, water-resistant protective seal, we block water from entering the surface and break this destructive freeze-thaw cycle completely.
Standard tarmac is highly susceptible to petroleum products; petrol or diesel leaks will rapidly dissolve the chemical bonds of the asphalt, creating soft, crumbling spots. Our advanced restoration coatings provide an excellent barrier coat that resists fuel, oil, and grease leaks, making future spills much easier to clean.

No, it is completely different. Driveway paint creates a thin, brittle layer on top of the tarmac that quickly peels, cracks, and flakes away under car tires. The professional restoration materials we use are resin-rich management coatings that penetrate deep into the asphalt to re-bind the stones, replace lost oils, and become a part of the structural driveway itself.
Yes, absolutely. Applying a restoration coating over active cracks or structural holes will not fix the underlying issue. As part of our comprehensive prep work, we clear out all weeds and debris, treat the areas, and use specialist tarmac repair compounds to fill in cracks and minor structural defects before the final sealing coats are applied.
While our premium coatings dry relatively quickly, we recommend keeping all foot traffic off the treated tarmac for at least 4 to 6 hours. Vehicles should be kept off the driveway for a minimum of 24 to 48 hours, depending on the current weather conditions, to allow the resins to cure fully and lock into place perfectly.
Our primary base is in Crewkerne, Somerset. From this central location, we cover a 45-mile operational radius, allowing us to deliver our professional residential and commercial tarmac restoration and sealing services to clients right across Somerset, Dorset, and Devon.
Typically, a high-quality, professionally applied tarmac restoration treatment will protect and enhance your surface for 3 to 5 years, depending on vehicular traffic volume and weather exposure. Routinely topping up the coating within this timeframe prevents the tarmac from ever drying out completely, saving you thousands in total replacement costs.
