Frequently asked questions about asphalt & bitumen

Asphalt takes 12 months to fully cure after being set down. We recommend that you give it 3 days before you start driving on it, or at the absolute minimum, 24 hours.

Additionally, it's important that no vehicles are left parked on the new asphalt for 2-4 weeks after application, or there is a risk it will create a depression and uneven surface.

Yes, we can seal cracks in existing asphalt or bitumen driveways and roads with ease.

If you notice a crack has occurred in your asphalt, you should have it sealed as soon as possible to prevent grass and weeds growing through, or water getting in as these can compromise the stability of your asphalt.

If properly taken care of and maintained, the average residential driveway will last approximately 30 years. This timeframe will vary for other kinds of asphalt surfaces with factors such as levels of use, type of use, and weather conditions.
