How We Calculate Your Tarmac Driveway Cost

Our calculator uses current 2025 industry pricing data collected from professional tarmac contractors across Hampshire and the South of England. We factor in:

Material costs: Priced per square metre based on tarmac type (standard, red, or pattern imprinted).
Surface preparation: Additional costs for removing existing surfaces or preparing poor-quality sub-bases.
Optional extras: Decorative edging, drainage channels, and dropped kerbs priced at current market rates.
VAT: All estimates include 20% VAT as standard for transparency.

Data sources: Pricing is based on quotes from verified contractors, trade association data, and material supplier costs updated quarterly.

Limitations: This calculator provides estimates only. Actual costs may vary due to site-specific factors such as access restrictions, ground conditions, skip hire requirements, and regional labour rates. A professional site survey is always recommended before commencing work.
