Tarmac Restorer BLACK

This product was easy to apply and seemed to go quite a bit further than advertised for me. I poured it on the tarmac directly and used a roller to spread it out. This worked pretty well I was able to cover 140m2 in 2.5hrs. It goes on a blue/purple colour which seems to dry about black. It's too early to say how well it has worked because of two days of intermittent rain, which has made it run a bit. It's the first of 3 coats so shouldn't be an issue.

Good product and very happy with the result it has made to my tarmac driveway. Would reccomend it. The utube video was also very helpful.

Excellent product great coverage of sealer and making the the tarmac drive look like new customer amazed with the result Will always use this product

I tried this sample of sealer on a small area and it covered really well and looked like new black asphalt. I was very impressed with the product and would definitely recommend it

the proof whether the tarmac paint is as good as it says will not be known for some time, as to weather it wares with vehicle parked on it. all the products i have tried so far last about three months.

I have finally managed to complete the work on my drive using both the Crack repair compound and Tarmac Restorer. Both products performed excellently and the drive now looks as good as new and has attracted complementary comments from passers by.

Agree with Tom A from Carlisle! Few things to note though. Make sure surface is clean and moss free especially on old tarmac: clean, clean and clean again and then thoroughly wash surface. Use only if no rain forecast and only between the given temp ranges. But does it work? Very expensive indeed, but the best. Used it before and still fantastic. Don't fall into the trap and buy a cheaper product. You get what you pay for.

We are a professional exterior cleaning company that specialises in surface sealing and tarmac restoration work. being based in the North West of the country, we see some pretty grim weather which in turn means moss and algae. A majority of the Tarmac restorations we carry out require a moss treatment prior to being restored. Tarmaseal is our go to product, many customers want the natural new laid tarmac look and not the "just been painted" look which Tarmaseal provides us with. Not only does it look great it also protects the surface unlike many of the tarmac paints on the market. Follow the instructions and see the great results with minimum maintenance

Superb service. Absolutely head and shoulders above manufacturers of similar products, both in pricing, quality and customer service. We placed a large order to coat a model car racing track (about the size of a small car park). We were guided through the ordering process by a single advisor, not just 'who ever was on that day'. Basically, there's a good reason Smartseal are rated 4.9/5 on Trustpilot! I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. In fact, we're already planning to get another coat down as soon as we can afford to.

Tarmac looking very grey almost white gave it two coats Tarmac restorer looks brilliant nice black. Dose what it says restores tarmac like new recommend to anyone wanting to smarten their driveway appearance. Kevin

I treated my tarmac driveway with Tarmaseal last September and was a little apprehensive on how it would turn out and whether it would last. I'm delighted to say I needn't have been - the driveway looks fantastic and despite salt in winter and daily heavy traffic from cars it still does 10 months later. Passers by all admire it and next door are away to do theirs this summer. Cosmetics aside, I think the sealing of the driveway has really fortified the surface and stopped it degrading. Delighted with it and well worth the price to protect your tarmac driveway.

Great product, our tarmac drive almost like new with admiring comments from neighbours. Will defiantly be reapplying in time to keep it looking smart.

Used this on a very old tarmac drive. I did 2coats and it now looks like new. Hopefully this will last a while. My neighbour asked what product I had used as the finish was better than hers.

The tarmac restorer is a very good product, used it on an area of older tarmac that was loosing stones and had gone very pale grey with chemical cleaner and pressure washing over years. On the rough areas I used a natural bristle house broom to put it on with as the roller soon deteriated. Good coverage and dried in an afternoon of warmish weather

This is much better than other similar products I have used, it covers the tarmac well and has a matt finish which I prefer. Only used it on a small area so far and still have a whole driveway to do but I am confident it will do a great job

Used this tarmac restorer before, its a fabulous product Not cheap but so effective Drive looks brilliant after its applied and worth topping up every couple of years

Thanks for the order. Unfortunately, as we have been having stormy wet weather up here in England. Have not had the opportunity to use the tarmac restorer it yet.

Mid section of the tarmac drive. Brilliant product and by far the best value for money. Looked at other brands which in effect were black paint and did nothing for weather proofing the tarmac and didn't cover any where near the tarmaseal for the same size. So easy to use and roller on and the results were astonishing. I do have pictures of during the coverage and the difference is unbelievable. The drive looks like new tarmac and so glad we decided on tarmaseal. The results speak for themselves. Still working on the final section and pictures to follow.

Excellent the restorer brought my weary Tarmac back to new

The sealer is easy to apply and makes the tarmac look much better.

I would definitely recommend this product. It was super easy to apply and it made such a difference I cant believe its the same driveway. All the neighbours look at the drive every time they walk last the house and they have been so impressed with the end result . Its been down for 2 months and still looking like new. So pleased with it.

WOW...WHAT A PRODUCT TARMASEAL - TARMAC RESTORER IS. IVE BEEN WAITING A WHILE FOR SOME GOOR WEATHER TO APPLY TO MY DRIVE WHICH IS 16 YEARS OLD SINCE I BROUGHT THE HOUSE FROM NEW. JUST FINISHED YESTERDAY, AND WHAT AN AMAZING DIFFERENCE - ALL THE NEIGHBOURS ASK WHAT PRODUCT THIS IS WHICH IM HAPPY TO TELL THEM AND RECOMMEND. I ALSO USE BLACK LIMESTONE RESTORER FROM SMARTSEAL....AMAZING PRODUCTS AND I KNOW THE DRIVE AND PATIO WILL NOT ONLY LOOK FOOD FOR YEARS TO COME BUT ITS ALSO PROTECTED. THANK YOU. :-)

Very very impressed with Tarmaseal! Brought the tarmac drive up like new in a single afternoon! So easy to apply. Definitely recommend purchasing the roller from smartseal to apply it!

Colour restored of tarmac and best to do 2 coats on moderate wear and tear areas so will check how it slows down wear in a years time.

Easy to apply, but do mask areas to prevent overspray using a roller. The driveway I painted with smart seal was about 12 years old. The surface was loose and pitted with stone loss. Bought smart seal to consolidate the surface after filling in with Coldplay asphalt. The application was very easy, the result was a well coloured natural black tarmac that made the drive look brand new. Time will tell if its ability to consolidate the surface is good or not, but right now it looks great

Just painted my drive. The original tarmac was 6 years old and I was suffering from drive envy after my neighbour had theirs done! The product went on fine and is a strong black colour, however I could have chosen a better roller as I have been left with gaps between the tarmac surface. In fairness they are only really noticeable when the sun is overhead(my neighbour has spotted them!). I did have to ask Smartseal how long I had to leave it before I could drive on it as I could not see it on the tubs or online? They responded quickly advising I leave it 24 hrs which I did.

Ive being restoring Tarmac driveways for the past several years and in the early days I used numerous products to establish the best results. While the finished out come (appearance) is important, the one thing that must be considered is the durability (how long does it last). There are products on the market that offer Tarmac restoration paints/sealants, however most of these products do not support long term durability and after a few months Tyre marks would appear, mainly as the product just sits on top the Tarmac. Tarmaseal high quality acrylic water based pigmented tarmac restorer, not only transforms the tarmac, but it also replaces lost resins and colour from the surface. Ive been using this product for the past year and the results are excellent, very easy to apply, quick drying time between coats (two hours), two coats should be applied as a minimum and most importantly the finished look is maintained, no signs of wear from warm tyres. If you are considering restoring your Tarmac driveway then I would only recommend this product.

Excellent service from Smartseal, the tarmac sealer looks great and colour blends in well with new tarmac, would highly recommend.

Excellent product. Followed the advice on video and is has produced excellent results on my tarmac. Will use again when it needs doing.

with all this bad weather have not had chance to try both products i have received from you will let you now when i am done .but the last order i got from was excelent. thak you.

Very pleased with this product. It was very easy to apply to the tarmac and the results are fantastic!

Superb product. This is not a tarmac paint, it is much more than that, it completely revitalises the driveway. Several neighbours have commented on my new drive. Easy to use and a great result. Very pleased.

I ordered Tarmaseal on April 21 and received it on April 23 which is impressive service. I can now take advantage of the fine weather we are currently having. Well done lads and thankyou very much.

Excellent product. The tarmac looks like a new drive after application of the sealer. Good preparation is the key and be sure to really push the product into the tarmac for a good finish.

Excellent, very well pleased with result of the tarmac paint. Will definitely use again

My driveway was losing small stones every time it was swept or driven over. I purchased Tarmaseal a while back waiting for weather etc. I used it today after following instructions and the result is absolutely amazing. I tried some oil based product in the 80's which to be honest was messy and seriously crap. A bit dubious about trying something again. But wow my driveway looks new and couldn't believe how easy it was! Great product.

Used as the end product on a drive cleaning job. The drive was cleaned after biocide was applied and then after drying two coats of Tarmaseal were applied. The tarmac drive looks fantastic and the neighbours were all commenting on what a huge improvement there is. It is easy to apply, despite the original surface being pitted, a deep pile roller was perfect for the job of application.

Delivered in a timely manner. Followed the instructions. Pressure washed & Cleaned the grey 10 year old tarmac & left to dry 3 days. Brushed the edges & used a roller for the main area. Great result & now looks like new. Slightly different effect between brush & roller. Im hoping the 2nd coat will blend the brushed finish in a little better. 10 Litres covered approx. 30sq. Metres 1 coat only. Very happy with the result.

Really excellent. The tarmac paint brings the driveway back to life. Will be using again in the future

Second time using this product and I can confirm it dose what it says! The tarmac has a great finish and lasted I have recoated only as tiles damage the surface and have not nearly needed as much, one final coat will ensure its great for years highly recommend this to anyone!

Sorry not had chance to try the tarmac paint yet. Service was excellent.

Old tarmac looks like new I had sample first to check how it weathers in heavy traffic so far good.

Killed the moss steam cleaned the surface and allowed to dry for a few days..I purchased 40 litres of tarmac restorer,Wow what a difference two coats applied drive looks brand new..All the neighbours have commented on how good it looks..Tarmac was 22yrs old just had enough for 110 square metres..Super product easy to use & looks great..

Have been really and pleasantly surprised.The tarmac was pitted and needed some cleaning and prep but this product has really transformed what was a tired looking entry to our driveway.People have asked if it was fresh tarmac laid.

The tarmac restorer is easy to use only tried the trial size but will order the larger size when weather permits

The tarmac restorer is good stuff. But don't get it on your clothes.

5 star product, the tarmac coating was easy to apply ordered and delivered all in two days

Our tarmac drive was treated with a moss remover product to kill the few areas of moss before cleaning. We thoroughly cleaned the drive and also used some diluted cement remover to help lift some of the cement staining off too. Once clean, we left for a few days to dry off before applying two good coats of Tarmaseal. Fantastic transformation!

Wonderful product.The tarmac paint transformed the front of the house.

I used the tarmac restorer and the block magic sealer to transform a 25 year old drive. What a transformation

The tarmac restorer is a great product easy to use,gave 3 Coates v good finish.

Ordered a sample and was impressed. I will be using to refurbish my tarmac driveway

Used Tarmac Restorer and crack repair on our small driveway .I am 79 and managed the job with a little help from a neighbour. Great products,good results and a friendly company to deal with. Highly recommended

Service is very good and the tarmac restorer product is excellent quality

Excellent product with great coverage.

I have not yet used the product, waiting to repair the tarmac first

Very pleased with the sample of the tarmac restorer. Currently embarking on the whole driveway!

First class product came on time. Easy to apply and looks great down . Has revitalized my 16 year old tar mac drive. Will look at resealing patio next

The product has transformed my tarmac driveway. It's expensive but worth the extra cost

Very very impressed

I have applied tarmaseal to my tarmac drive a couple of times. My drive is almost forty years old and is still in excellent condition. I probably recoat it once a year but that is me being fussy as it really doesn't need it. When I recoated it during the lockdown people walked past my house and asked if I had just had a new dive. When I told them I had recoated it with tarmaseal they couldn't believe how good it looked and what a difference it makes. Rather than fork out hundreds of pounds or even thousands of pounds just get a drum of tarmaseal and you will not regret it ,then spend the money you have saved on a lovely holiday.

Excellent product

Very pleased with the product so easy to use on tarmac, two coats, job well done definitely buy it again in the future thanks smart seal

Very good. Used before on drive. Comes up like new

Did my whole tarmac drive about 3/4 years ago. I was very pleased with the result. It secured and sealed all the loose gravel and totally refreshed its appearance. Unfortunately I dripped some white paint on it recently while painting a wall. The sample you sent recently has covered that up well.

Finally put down the first coat of smart seal,what a difference already to my tarmac,unfortunately under estimated how porous my 60 sq meter16 year old drive, had become so it swallowed 20 litre with no respect for cost.Have ordered some more for second coat.Happy days.

My tarmac condition was awful! Almost everywhere was covered with moss. Took me a long time to clean and prepare the job for Tarmac Restorer. I think preparation is very important to get a good end result. The application was super easy and result was amazing. However, probably i should judge the quality of the product after a year or so. Hopefully it stay the same for some good times and i must be proactive and don't let moss grow on the tarmac any more.

My old tired tarmac driveway really needed sprucing up. Tarmaseal has done just that. It took two coats of sealer to do the job as I expected but the results speak for them selves. The only down side is number of questions from my neighbours questions, what did I use and where did I get it. It looks like Smartseal will be getting some more orders

Easy to apply and has retired to the tarmac driveway, all the neighbours now painting theirs, the invaluable advice I received was first class and delivery was done in the time slot given would definitely buy from here again

Had a good driveway but tarmac had faded. Used this product after son in law had used it. Arrived in good time easy to use and drive looks like new

Great product, worked well, looks fantastic.

5 star service delivered next day product is excellent and my neighbours have commented how good my tarmac looks

Tarmac restorer..... Fantastic product

This has transformed and completely refreshed the look of a long old driveway. Passers by have stopped and asked since who done this. We have put them in your companys direction. This helped with algae and moss. Brilliant

The Tarmac driveway needed a refresh after building works were carried out at the property, Driveway was scraped to remove any mortar , holes were patched using cold lay tarmacadam then 2 coats of the magic stuff ���� Tarmaseal Highly recommend this product As its easy to use with incredible results ����

Fantastic product my drive looked like new

Excellent product Makes an old tarmac drive look new

So glad I chose this product as opposed to other "tarmac paints" I have reviewed. I have a large 90m2 drive and 2 coats of this has totally transformed my 12 year old drive to get it looking just like it was laid. I also found the tarmac repair simple to use to repair a couple of cracks, which are now barely visible. Even though I originally received the wrong colour, this was quickly rectified by the team at Smartseal. Would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to bring their drive back to life.

I wasn't sure how old the tarmac drive was with this new house but could tell it needed freshening up, cost of a new drive was over 10,000. I found this product on line by chance and after reading the reviews thought i would give it a go. I couldn't be happier with the outcome for a fraction of the cost, i have had countless comments on how good it now looks from neighbours and people passing as i was in the process of coating the drive. i got through a few rollers as even with brushing and cleaning the tarmac it pick up stones especially from older tarmac. Time will tell regards the longevity of the look but i am more than happy with the tarmac restorer.

Very good product. Does exactly as described. Gives tarmac a new look.

Second time using this product on my tarmac and I can confirm it does what it says! Great finish and lasted really well. I have recoated only as tiles damage the tarmac and have not nearly needed as much as expected, one final coat will ensure it will look great for years, highly recommend this to anyone!

Very happy with the product, ease of application and the final result.

Great Product did a large Double tarmac drive and still had plenty left over after 2 coats.

Excellent product did what I needed it to do, easy to apply,it will be interesting to see how long it lasts before the tarmac needs another coating.the customer service and delivery was very good.I will use your products again

I did a lot of research before buying. I am complete amateur. Drive is 23 year old tarmac in reasonable condition for age, about 40 square metres. Large size of container plenty for 2 coats. Instructions on youtube very helpful- followed them to the letter. But I also Vacuumed the drive after the clean to remove final dust/bits. Coats went in easily. Did need second coat. Very impressive results admired by neighbours!

Amazing wow factor product, Easy to use and well priced.

Very good product and have used it over the last 7 years and comes highly recommended . Coating your tarmac with this product brings back your tarmac to looking new and will save you loads of money were you would have probable had to replace the tarmac

Sample patch done and excellent will be ordering but having to get neighbours to approve.

Used this product last week on a double tarmac drive, the drive was quite worn as been down 25 years, after using repair tarmac / compound to fill some large holes, mainly around the edge, I applied the restorer with a large brush as areas of the surface required some scrubbing in, I'm really pleased with the overall finish and recommend the product 100%.

This is an excellent product that completely transforms a worn tarmac driveway. I have used this for the last three or four years and have found that to keep the like new finish I need to reapply each year. I would certainly recommend this product and it has stopped any further deterioration of the tarmac surface.

Used to seal a shared driveway after building a extension made drive look better than when we started very happy customer and coverage was spot on for size of tin I purchased

Excellent product. First used moss killer as per instructions, scrubbed drive several times, allowed to thoroughly dry. Applied the restorer in the recent very dry and warm weather. Excellent coverage but took care to ensure it got into all the nooks and crannies. Dried in 2--4 hours and second coat much quicker to apply. Looks great and has prompted many positive comments from passers by. Will definitely be giving "top up" coats from time to time.

Excellent product, easy and quick to apply, visitors think I have had a new drive laid.

A good covering product that goes further than expected. However the smooth sponge roller does not allow the 'dimples' to be covered without a lot of ' squeezy' pressure. Pnly time will tell how long it stays dark in the sun UV, but first impressions very favourable.

Easy to apply left first coat for 4 hours to dry then applyed second coat. Now 1 year has passed and still looks brilliant

Left a previous review after having a problem after applying the tarmac sealer. A very helpful SmartSeal representative looked into the problem I had after leaving my review. We discussed the problem and agreed a plan going forward. Nice to see a company which takes customers reviews seriously. Thanks SmartSeal

Great product which completely transformed my driveway into looking like new.Several compliments from neighbours.

Excellent product drive is like new one tip don't use roller as it does not always put the taramaseal into any divots in the tarmac I use a window cleaner tool the one that scraps the water off attached it to a broom poured the seal and then speed it. This put the seal in all the divots of pot mark . My drive looks brand new

Just finished applying to my 18 year old tarmac drive and it looks like new. It was easy to apply and covered very well. My drive was ~ 40 m3 and the 20 litre container was more than enough for 2 coats. Not had any traffic on it yet to test for durability.

Does what it says Good coverage

Outstanding product would highly recommend drive looks brand new

It went on very easily and looks great. It has completely transformed the appearance of the drive. I was advised that I would need 2x 20 litre tubs but I managed to apply 2 coats fairly liberally and still had some left in the first tub. The cost of postage to return a tub does not make it a viable option, so I am hoping that a neighbour offers to buy it!

Great product which has transformed my driveway to look as if it is a new drive for a low cost. Highly recommended.

Had to cut in with brush around block edging used masking tape to get a straight line .Then rollered on the rest large drive . Will have to order another 20 lts for a second coat. I must say it looks good with one coat. Happy rollering

Looks really good for a fraction of the price of new tarmac. The second coat went on very easily so it took less than a day to complete the job.

Excellent easy to use product

Great product my drive looks like new !

Brilliant. Fast delivery. Easy to use and old tarmac looks like new!

Coverage is fantastic and goes on easily. One small snag - handle of roller snapped on very first roll.! Other then that a great product - time will tell how effective it will be.

Repeat order excellent product

Looked good after one application with a brush and easy to apply to tarmac that is past it's best. Left the review for several weeks as I expected it to flake but it is still sound so far so good.

Really happy with the products it was a pleasure to undertake resurfacing the drive. Two coats and minor repairs and I have a drive that looks like it cost thousands. Well done SmartSeal excellent products would definitely come back and recommend to friends and neighbours.

This product is fantastic. I ordered the sample and painted on a part of the tarmac which was particularly shabby. It went on like a dream and covered very well. I have wet it, walked on it and am now leaving it for a while to see how it weathers. I suspect that I will be so pleased that I will order a 20 litre tin to cover the area I need done.

Used this product before, recommended and ordered for neighbour who also thought it was first class.

Recently bought 20lts of black tarmac restorer the service was excellent delivery prompt.I applied two coats to my drive the 2nd coat I added a fine grit to the mix as before the drive was slippery when wet or icy the result is excellent not the cheapest but one of the best.

Another area of tarmac brought back to life. Excellent product and service. Thank you.

Delivery was quick and the product does exactly what it says. Good thick black coverage and has restored a tired driveway , which now looks like a newly laid surface.

Excellent product ! Coverage was really good and very easy to apply with roller and scuttle . Low viscosity gives very even finish with no pooling Colour dries to a dark Matt charcoal just like new tarmac Easy to clean equipment with water . Highly recommended Paul Alexander

First class product my drive looks like new many thanks

Tarmac restorer does exactly what it says ,you can buy cheaper options but this is quality item.

Tarmac restorer does exactly what it says ,you can buy cheaper options but this is quality item.

Excellent results for regenerating my old driveway. Even used it on my existing concrete paths. Easy to apply and foot traffic within a couple of hours. Delivery within 24hrs of order definitely recommend this product.

Excellent

Great product and easy to apply. A driveway that has not been maintained for ten years now looks like it has just been resurfaced

Top product, has brought a drive of age approx 15 years back to looking new. Bought four 20 litre drums and used three and a bit on a 130m2 drive. First coat hard work, took about six hours for one person, but second coat much easier. Touch dry period between coats was less than two hours at a temperature of 18 c during application. Left for 24 hours before using it for cars. No adverse effects. The 20 litre cans are obviously going to be heavy but are easy to empty into the roller tray. But the HSE would probably like a take care lifting warning on the side of the can.

fantastic product my drive looks brand new very easy to apply

Does what it says on the packet, very pleased with results, has made my tired looking tarmac look like new

First class product. Used with crack repair compound. An unmaintained 20 year driveway now looks fantastic. Loads of favourable comments from neighbours. Prepared well and covered 140m square metres with two 20L tubs. Good video helps easy application. Spare tub means doing my parent's driveway now! Recommend changing roller every 30-40 metres to ease coverage.

This tarmac restorer does excactly what it says on the can, good stuff!

excellent product, I applied the tarmac paint using a masonry brush on a pole so that I can work it into the surface. It dries very quickly and seals small cracks and fills in those small indents where moss can start. The end result had people asking me if I had new tarmac put down so very pleased with result.

Could not believe how well this product worked put on the first coat and could of left it at that as it covered so well but gave the drive a second coat drive anyway I've got a brand new drive for a good price I also had enough to cover my daughters drive to same standard. If looking to revive your drive don't hesitate to buy this product as it beats others hands down

Drive used to be green .Gave it a good power wash. Two coats of tarmaseal. Its keeping like new. Money well spent.

Used to re-seal a rough , mixed aggregate driveway - Tarma seal works very well and feels like a premium coating product. Finish is looking very good indeed. Broom handle on roller kit broke in 15 minutes , as per other comments, a stronger one would be good. Real test of an Aberdeenshire winter coming up for the new driveay.

My drive wasn't great before the builders came to add an extension, with all the resulting concrete staining it looked terrible. With two coats it really does look like new, better than it has ever looked, everyone thinks on first glance I have had the tarmac re-laid.

An excellent product,used it on concrete and it gave a really good finish. The service was great too, received the product the day after ordering!

Tarmaseal first time I have used this, I found this product brilliant it covers well and with a second coat the drive looks like new, would recommend it to anyone that is thinking of refreshing there tarmac.

Tarmaseal is an excellent product that is so easy to use. It has excellent coverage and the 20 container covered 60m2 twice. My drive now looks as though it is brand new.

Ordered this last year, only just got to put it on. Excellent product and service, also super fast delivery. How to videos were great help. Very HAPPY with finished look. Would absolutely recommend both product and company.

I applied two coats of the Tarmac restorer last year and then again this year. Last year I applied two coats in ideal weather conditions and the results when finished were outstanding. The finish however appeared to start to deteriorate quickly once rain had occurred in areas where either a car was parked overnight or driven. The weight of a car on the drive and driving the car along the drive to the garage was slightly lifting the coating. I finally gave up touching up the worn areas and a year on as the drive colour had faded and the worn areas in real need of attention I decided to try again in order to give the drive a facelift. Once again it was ideal temperature and remained dry for a week after application. I kept off the drive for a week to allow the product ample time to cure but once again the product appears fine until it rains. Once rain has fallen the weight of a car along the drive lifts a small amount of the product leaving clear tracks where the car has been. The overall finish remains very good but it is a shame that it does not have more durability so that wear tracks do not form. The product certainly has stopped the deterioration of the Tarmac with no more dusty gravel every time it is swept. I guess to keep the drive looking good this product would need two coats every year.

Good product overall, but I have ordered this before and that was more glossshine finish not sure this time round it is more matt finish. If you after a Matt finish on the tarmac then its perfect.

Ordering and service was excellent. The biggest problem is getting rid of the moss which is virtually impossible in a pitted surface. Once applied the Tarmaseal makes the drive look great like new Tarmac. Due to weather I have only had chance to apply one coat yet but will do the second as soon as I can. However running cars over the surface constantly seems to take off the black coating on the peaks of the aggregate in the tarmac (so a lighter colour) quite happy with the product but time will tell.

Better result than I thought it would be. Looks like a Ive had a new drive. Really happy,

Have used this many times before and last application has lasted three years. Disappointed that it is no longer supplied in a bucket style container as this would make it difficult to mix easily... fortunately i kept one of the old containers ... so no problem for me !

I purchased this product to restore my 20 year old tarmacadam runway. The surface was still solid with no cracks or holes, but loose material was coming off the surface and looked like it was drying out. My plan was to apply 2 coats of tarmac restorer. Here are my comments on doing the job. I initially brushed all the loose material from the surface and applied a moss/algae killer product to ensure the surface was moss free. A week later I brushed out any dead moss then power washed the entire area. Calculating the area of my runway was a bit tricky due to the awkward shape, however my best guess was 97 square meters. So two coats would result in 194 square meters. The supplier estimates a coverage of 40 to 60 square meters per 20 litre container. I decided to opt for around 50 square meters per 20 litre container which should require 4 x 20 litre drums of tarmaseal. My order arrived within a few days of ordering which included a "bucket tray" and a sturdy roller. The roller sleeve was smooth and I thought might not be up to the job on a rough surface. On applying the first coat I was surprised how difficult it was to apply and took me 6 hours to complete. The difference after the first coat was amazing, but hard work. Before starting the second coat I purchased another roller kit locally which was designed for roughcast and other rough surfaces. This made all the difference and only took an hour and a half to complete. So I would not recommend purchasing the roller kit. I found that I had enough tarmaseal for a third coat. I can honestly say that my runway is now looking great. Time will tell if the "restoration" has worked.

Did the job perfectly, my drive looks like the tarmac has just been laid. Well pleased.

I look into this product, and went with reviews left by other buyers. The whole service was first class, from ordering to delivery. I used 6x 20ltr to cover my drive. The results were first class, takes driveway up to standard of newly tarred. Well worth the cost, pay for what you get. The roller system that's available is worth the buy.

Excellent product and excellent service.

Excellent product. I applied this two years ago. Initially it made a dramatic difference and looked great. I used the roller kit but found it failed partway through and I resorted to a brush which worked fine. After two years the driveway still looks good, it has faded a bit, especially at the points of high wear but is still looking far better than it did before I started. It has required cleaning each year but that is to be expected with the use it gets. Overall, great product that does improve the look of your driveway and lasts.

Took a long time before I made my decision to buy Smartseal, I wasn't disappointed its vey good. Everywhere looks imaculate. I used 10 x 20 litres to cover a large area well worth the cost.

Delivery service was excellent ordered on monday am delivered tuesday am.The product was easy to apply and the end result was brilliant rating 5

Very pleased with this - did a great job. Would recommend it. Had a lot of compliments from neighbours who think I have had a new drive laid. Plus it was easy for me to do myself so no pricey tradesmen!

Very pleased with the finish that has been achieve with this product on both the block paving and my Tarmac. Preparation is key, I found the video was a great help.

The product is very good and extremely easy to apply, brushing for the edges and roller kit for the main body of the drive. Gives a much improved appearance and has been complemented by a neighbour. The staff are extremely helpful. Product and staff are excellent (5 stars).

I first purchased the trial bottle of black Tarmaseal and was impressed after application in different areas, I then purchased sufficient to allow for two coats of my driveway plus front and back walkways, the service was first class with delivery made one day after ordering. All neighbours and passersby have commented on the impressive result ,many thought the driveway had been relaid with tarmac, very impressed and would highly recommend ,very easy to apply. 5 star rating.

Excellent product the drive i used it on was 130 sq meters and came out excellent after 2 coats.

Excellent product. Applied two coats and driveway looks excellent. First coat takes quite a lot of effort to get the product into all the gaps between the aggregate, but second coats goes down much more easily to give brilliant finish. Couple of friends thought drive had been re tarmaced. Would certainly recommend

I'd endorse the comments of other reviewers, my drive was in a poor state with the surface loose and cracked which required considerable preparation to remove the loose particles. Two coats were necessary on the majority of the drive but a newer area required only one. However, several days after application, on areas where rainwater puddled' subsequent brushing (to remove the puddles) resulted in the sealant coming off. This may be due to the sealant not having 'cured' fully, the weather wasn't particularly good. A further coating on these areas restored the finish, and so far, things are still looking good!

Excellent product. Applying two coats brings the driveway looking brand new.

This is a quality product. I did brush most of it on, as the roller did not get the seal into the drive base. I also used more than was recommended , but the final effect was good. I still highly recommend it, despite the price.

This is 2nd purchase and have given my driveway a 3rd coat of Tarmaseal. Very pleased with result. Highly recommend. Only reason for third covering was oil leak from sons vehicle

brilliant stuff old defientley buy again made my driveway like it had just been done.

I was preparing my house to put on the market and my tired drive has been transformed with the Tarmac Restorer, had read some negative reviews and can happily dismiss them, I am not easily pleased but I am very much so, can highly recommend.

Superb product! I decided to buy 20L of black Tarmaseal to treat my tired drive after reading good reviews on this site and others. The goods arrived in a couple of days after good communication from Smartseal. After filling holes and gaps with cold lay tarmac, I coated the surface using the 12in roller (also purchased from Smartseal) and a brush for the edges. Tarmaseal goes on easily, covers well and dries quickly. I allowed the suggested 2 hours between coats but it was dry sooner. I took my time to ensure an even coverage but my four car drive was done in a day. Cleaning up is easy too as it's water-based. The final look is excellent. It has been the subject of lots of complimentary remarks during and after the work and two neighbours have ordered Tarmaseal for their drives. Great job Smartseal!

Very pleased so far. Has transformed the appearance of our drive. Providing it stands the test of time, I would give this 5 stars. Arrived quickly after ordering, only complaint would be with a rather miserable delivery man who considered it an imposition when my wife asked him to leave it round the side of our house.

Purchased 20lt drum on Friday 5th September 14 arrived Monday 8th November 14 Prepared Drive which was showing signs of wear. Applied 2 coats of Smartseal and can say from 1st impressions very pleased with result. I used ALL 20 Ltrs. Drive looks brand new. Will purchase further 5 Ltrs to apply further coat when needed Highly recommend this product.

Excellent product, highly recommended. Used this for my driveway. 5 stars !

Pressure washed my 5 year old drive, when bone dry, blasted all the dust & debris away with the leaf blower Took a 4" paint brush and did one thick coat around the edges and any areas that the roller may not have got into,,which was the case Used the roller and much elbo grease, did one coat, looked great, did another coat next day to finish the job. Left for 48 hours looks like a new Tarmac drive. Put cars back on , and did note tyes marks/lifting of coats almost straight away, as per FAQ Following weekend , gentle wash down to remove the bird poo and a sweep over with a broom. Did another entire coat and thus re-covered tire marks. Time will tell how just how long this newness lasts, suspect, if like me you like the new look, you'll be doing this yearly, as cars coming on and off, I suspect will soon show. Now you have done it,, you'll have to keep it up. Highly reccomend the roller kit, Clean roller and brushes easily with water, meaning this is a water based product, bear that in mind too

My drive is 84 sq. mts. & was in not to good condition. I repaired the edges that had sunk and several pounding areas before applying Smat Seal. What a difference, it looks better than I expected. People passing stopped and commented on the finish as I was applying the coat saying it looked good. That says it all. Thank you for a good service and a good product.

My tarmac drive looked very sad having not been touched for 6 years with 3 or 4 cars regularly parked. One coat of smartseal made a huge difference. Putting on two coats for extra durability. Now looks great. People think we have had it re-tarmaced. Expensive but worth every penny

I would just like to show my appreciation for your product. I came home one day to find the electricity company had dug a massive hole in my drive. They did repair the hole with new tarmac and as a result my drive was an eye sore. I did a lot of research and found that your product was the best and after talking to one of your colleagues I purchased the 20 litre drum. It took me over 25 hours from start to finish but I think you will agree the results were definitely worth the hard work and expense. Please peruse the pictures and again thank you Mike, Hull

Blown away by the results! Have received a number of compliments/inquiries about the product and have made the appropriate recommendations. An outstanding product and excellent service.

This coating gives superb results, and has made my 18 year old drive look like new again. It may seem expensive but the quality and service are excellent and well worth the cost, your order usually arrives by next day courier delivery. I would not hesitate to recommend this product and company to anyone.

Very good product, looks fantastic, easy to apply and has impressed the neighbours! My son is doing his drive next year, after seeing mine. Customer services very helpful and friendly.

An excellent product. Transformed my 40 year old tarmac driveway. It really does look like re-laid tarmac. I would not hesitate to recommend it.

Brilliant6. A product that actually does what is says on the tin! Everybody has commented what a difference it has made and that it looks as though we have had it tarmacked. Would definitely recommend this product

One coat of Tarmaseal has been applied to my drive and it looks great. However, where it has been applied by hand with a brush around the edges it has dried with a sheen leaving the roller applied coating drying flat. Two coats Re obviously necessary so now I am waiting for a fine day to apply second coat which I'm sure will look great.

Just bought 20 ltrs of this Tarmaseal Tarmac Repair product as must say what an excellent product it is especially as I have previously used the Thomson Tarmac Repair paint. I also purchased the roller kit, although I think that is over priced. It went on like a dream, very easy and fast and looks fantastic. The only down side is that I only needed to use half of the 20 ltrs to do two coats on my driveway which is 6x9 mtrs so I guess I will have some to do next year.

A brilliant product, and this came with excellent service as well. My drive looks 100% better. I would recommend this product to anyone.

2nd puchase. Drive was borderline replacement condition but the restorer did a fantastic job in binding and renewing it last year. Decided to top up again this year to build strength further. looks as new when covered but top of chippings wear off quickly leaving a speckled look which was not a surprise due to poor start condition. very pleased - just wish I'd done it many years ago.

ONE WORD BRILLIANT

Tarmaseal is the best product on the market in my opinion. I did a lot of research before using this product. It is incredibly easy to apply to Tarmac with brush/roller. I had been let down by an installation company previously so decided to do the job myself and would like to thank Smartseal and Nigel personally for his expert advice and brilliant customer service. Many Thanks.

On the 1st coat on a very rough surface, 45 sq m needed 30L. On the 2nd coat, 45 sq m needed 20L. Very easy to apply with the supplied roller and dries quickly. This is a first-class product and made a superb job of restoring the surface of my driveway.

Straightforward easy ordering and payment process via Internet with delivery of the 2 x 20litres of Tarmaseal Tarmac restorer in three days. Excellent, easy to apply water based product that covered my 70 sqm drive comfortably with absolutely amazing results. My drive is now transformed to like new and has drawn some extremely complimentary comments from my neighbours. As with most jobs, the secret is not just in the product but in the preparation. I spent a long time ensuring the Tarmac was clear of all moss and vegetation with meticulous brushing to remove the small loose stones. The Tarmac looked excellent, other than the colour, before the restorer was applied but absolutely superb after two coats. I applied the restorer on a very warm Saturday, the day before Andy Murray won Wimbledon. It dried within 30 minutes and as soon as one coat was completed the second was applied with whole job comfortably completed within 6 hours. I left the drive to harden before for about 6 hours before driving my car over it and into the garage without the surface showing any marks. I am absolutely delighted with the result and the overall transaction and would have no hesitation in recommending this superb product.

We were very impressed with the product and the service, and extremely impressed that the enclosed letter had actually been signed by a real person, using a real pen. We feel this showed a true professionalism from your Company.

First class, the only bad part was the preparation, but then it always is. Excellent product, drive looks great. I would recommend erring on the generous side for coverage as the finish will be better if applied in one go. I didn't and there is a slight difference between coats two days apart.

Wow amazing product and well worth the money. Just like its been retarred.

Wow, very impressed. Large driveway approximately 11 years old. Power washed. Took about 2 hours to apply the sealant. It looks like new! Don't be put off with the price. This is a quality product! I recommend buying the roller kit too! So easily applied.

Excellent customer service in connection with initial enquiries. Speedy and faultless delivery arrangements. Applied to a relatively small, 20sqm, drive entrance. Dramatic improvement after two coats but now wait to see if this is sustained, hence 4 not 5 stars. Many thanks.

Recently completed a car park project using Tarmac Restorer, we were able to complete the job to our clients complete satisfaction and found that the product was of excellent quality and went a long way.

I have used this company and products several times now and have always been happy with the service and performance. My customers have been very impressed with the finish of Tarmac Restorer in black and I would not hesitate in reccomending this to anyone.

Excellent service. Recommended quantity for 120sq metre drive covered it 3 times and still approx 5 litres spare.

After the bad weather eventually applied this product. The results have been amazing, from a tired drive to a drive that looks better than the original tarmac. Comments and questions from the neighbours on where can I get this Quality Product have been passed on. Service and Product are second to none. Well done!

Very impressed with the product and also very pleased with the service i was given by smartseal 10/10

Hi, Great product and very good service!

Absolutely delighted with this product. A section of my tarmac driveway was covered in paint, concrete and other unsightly marks, however one coat of Smartseal has made an enormous difference and I think a 2nd coat would make it look as new. Delighted and would certainly recommend.

This was the 1st time i have used this product, i dont know who was impressed the most me or the client, would recomend it again, amazing results

I've used this product on a number of occasions, and without exception the results have been excellent. More importantly, my customers have been delighted with the transformation in their tarmac drives. Would have no hesitation in recommending both the Sealer/Restorer, and the advice and professionalism of Smartseal themselves.

The entire ordering process was excellent. We even received a call after our order advising we may need a tint as we chose the red colour and they had reports it was too bright. They included this FOC. Also, they advised on a different crack repair, and even though it was a greater cost, since they had processed the order they did not charge the difference. Now the product. We just recently were able to use it due to the weather and we've had people stop and ask about it and admire it as they walk by. WE LOVE IT. The directions were easy to follow and our only setback was rain that appeared when part wasn't dry but we had enough for another coat. We would recommend this highly.

The product was exelent to work with and easy to apply with the roller that was supplied,if I were to say anything negative it would be after the first coat the drive was pretty patchy but after the second coat all was well.

Good product, easily worked, great consistancy between tubs, great result.

great stuff to use although i had to give my path 3 coates because the tarmac was not smooth but the final finish was great the neighbours are very impressed comments like have you had a new path done well pleased would recommend to anyone

This product was purchased after much research on the net, and it was delivered prompltly. On stiring/mixing the product correctly I applied virtually two coats of the black tarmac seal to my drive, but needed to use very little from the 2nd 20 litre tub, this dried a different shade, the drive being matt and 1/10 a finish gloss like. A complaint the next day required a photo E mailing to prove the problem, and after several calls, a manager I presume sent out two new 20 l tubs and a new roller/tray free the next day. I needed to do a third coat, as the 1st tub being very matt black was clearly wrong, but the finish is now superb. I hope that was a glitch in what overall is a very good product. Product 5 star, Overall 4 star as some of the questions on the phone made me feel as if I was trying to blag more sealant, when clearly not. Mr K Goodman.

A fantastic high-end product. We will continue to use this product on the tarmac driveways of our customers for years to come. The driveways we renovate for our customers are the envy of their neighbours thanks to this great product. It is easy to apply and does provide that 'just laid' finish. It is worth the cost without doubt!

Hi This is the best product i have ever bought. It is absolutely brilliant, after reading the instructions from smart seal i proceeded to do it with my colleague and the results are excellent. I just wish i had taken pictures before i started. Thank You very much. Ann

The sealant was delivered within a few days of ordering ,my drive has been down 6 years was in good condition but badly stained and showing signs of wear,a total of about 7 hours and two coats of sealant my drive now looks as good as the day it was layed , actualy it looks better even my neighbours have commented how good it looks, I am so pleased and would recommend to any one , actually I already have at least half a dozen times already . This sealant gets a five star rating from me .

does what it says on tin. service, advice and delivery top rate

Very impressed with product, didn't expect such good results. Easy to apply and delivery of product was very quick. If your old tarmac driveway is in reasonable condition and you would like to give it that "freshly laid tarmac look" without the newly laid tarmac price tag, then this product is for you.

wasn't sure whether or not it was going to look right as I was applying it , but end result was BRILLIANT!!

Great product, drive looks great...and best of all top class service, would recommend :)

Firstly, service received. This was excellent. I placed two orders the first was for 2 x 20litres of SmartSeal, fungicide, and repair compound. The delivery was made within 2 days. I had one issue, the fungicide container was leaking. I phoned SmartSeal and they refunded the money for the fungicide without quibble. My second order was for 2 x 20litres SmartSeal. This was delivered next day. Drive is approximately 80sq.m and was looking as if it had seen better days. The colour had faded and there were alot of small stones trailing into the house. I put the first coat on the drive with the roller bought from SmartSeal. Certain areas were rougher than others and here I found it best to use a brush. The second coat was much easier to put on as the SmarSeal had obviously sealed the drive, and therefore the second coat took a little less than the first coat. The drive now looks like new! Colour is fully restored and the sealant has done its job. There are no more stones traing into the house. An excellent product that has totally restored the drive. The biggest challenge has been the UK weather! getting a dry day to apply the product.

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.

This Product is Brilliant !!!. It completely transformed the look of my Driveway at a fraction of the price of having a new Tarmac Driveway laid. Will recomend this to all my neighbours.
