Kirsti –
We have quite a few cracks along the edging, middle of the driveway and a small section where the red tarmac itself has loosened and you can see the concrete base. Which products would you recommend, the crack repair compound or the cold lay repair before we use the tarmac restorer?
Thanks
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tarmaseal –
Hello Kirsti,
It really does depend on the size of the cracks. The crack repair compound is used to repair small cracks and holes, whereas the cold lay repair is for repairing potholes and areas of tarmac that have broken away.
I hope this helps.

Dependent on condition two coats of tarmac restorer are recommended.
Average coverage ratios are 10-15sq.* metres per 5 litres:
– 15 sq. metres if the tarmac is in good condition but has lost colour and faded over time;
– 10 sq. metres for poorer quality tarmac surfaces.

Hi, how long will the tarmac keep its new appearance once treated?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tarmaseal –
Hi Jamie,
The Tarmac restorer itself is a very durable product, but as with any other
external product will require re-application from time to time. For driveways
that receive an average amount of traffic, a top-up coat of Tarmac restorer is
recommended on average, every 5 years.
For tarmac driveways that are more heavily trafficked or are in very shady,
damp conditions more frequent top-up coats may be necessary.
I hope this helps.

Nick

Chris Smith –
Found the product easy to apply, the hard part is cleaning up the tarmac beforehand. Dries to a nice matt black finish and really gives your drive a makeover. I have had many neighbours asking what I was using as they are fed up with loose gravel on their driveway and the dull grey appearance.
I found that a brush was best thing to use – luckily I had a 120 x 30mm paste brush with 30mm bristles in the garage and it was prefect – you need something to kneel / sit on like old carpet square and use a swirling motion to get the coating into the grain of the old weathered tarmac – looks a bit patchy but soon dries to a nice even finish. I bought a roller to apply second coat as I thought it would be easier – but did not really work so went back to brush and the rotary swirling strokes ( roller may have worked if surface had been smoother )..
Only time will tell how it wears and lasts, but for now drive looks great – our drive is pretty much 30 sq metres and well weathered ( rough surface ) and was enough in 20 litres for 2 coats and a few litres left over. Would have given 5 stars but not sure yet about durability.

I need to restore a tarmac tennis court which shows some pitting and scuffing surface damage but no cracks. Some of the pitting damage is unlikely to be covered in by the seal. Is it possible for me to mix in some 3mm grit to give your Tarmaseal more body and better fill the worn areas. Many thanks for your advice.

Tarmaseal –
Hi Jayne,
Yes, it can but you may need to apply more than two coats to create the desired finish. As it starts to wear in areas over the years, you may see the underlying red start to show through, so a reapplication at some point is always advisable to keep it looking black.
I hope this helps.

I read that this can be sprayed through an airless sprayer. I plan on using an airless sprayer as I have a large area to cover. Can you give some advice on spraying Tarmaseal with an airless sprayer?

Hi Colin,
It can be sprayed using an airless sprayer and does not have the viscosity of tar.

The product may cover the red stones but will not penetrate into the stones and because of this, it is likely to wear off over time. The product will also make an area of tarmac that may have variation of colour much more uniform.

Les Shilcock (verified owner) –
I am very pleased with the results of this product. My drive is 20 years old and was beginning to shed bits of tarmac or gravel which trailed into the house. It was also looking somewhat tired. After applying the tarmac restorer it seems to have stopped shedding the gravel and looks like new. It has also attracted interest from a few of the neighbours and people passing by who would like to do the same. I used a roller in the first place to apply the restorer but, having read previous reviews, I decided to use a broom and found this to be more satisfactory since it got into the crevices better. The service I received from the company was excellent, very prompt delivery. Ordered the first lot on the Monday and received it the next day. Ordered the second lot on Friday and received it Monday morning. Very pleased, many thanks.

After looking on the internet and checking various alternatives I ordered 3 x 20L of Smartseal tarmac restorer and some crack repair compound. The area I wanted to restore was 120msq. After a jet wash of the existing surface and filling of some minor cracks with the quick dry filler, I was ready to begin. The material was very easy to apply and covered very quickly, I found that the material dried in under 1 hour. The 120 m sq job took about 6 hours to complete single handed and the result was amazing, the drive was completely transformed and I am delighted with the result. Several of my neighbours have commented on the difference the coating has made and I would have no hesitation in fully recommending and endorsing Smartseal to anyone thinking of using it.
