Our Tarmac Services.

Tarmac also called blacktop or asphalt is a surfacing material used in the construction of roads, driveways, airports and car parks. It consists of aggregates, crushed stones or gravel and bitumen which is derived from crude oil. When heated and blended it becomes a workable material that can be spread and compacted on a pre-prepared surface.

Tarmac has several advantages in that it can withstand heavy weather and is ideal for heavy traffic loads. Additionally from being resilient it is also water resistant so prevents water going down into the layers underneath preventing possible damage plus the lifespan of tarmac can be extended as it is easily repaired.

Tar & Chip Surfacing.

One of the most frequently used surfacing methods for use in the construction of roads, driveways and carparks is Tar & Chip or tar and seal as it is sometimes known. The installation is achieved by applying a layer of hot liquid asphalt (tar) onto a pre-prepared surface and then immediately covered with a layer of aggregate chips. The latter adhere to the sticky tar. This creates a surface that is durable and its rough texture which is also skid resistant.

Tar & Chip is also excellent for road traction as well as being able to prevent water from accumulating and can withstand heavy traffic. This technique also requires minimal maintenance.

Resin Driveways & Surfacing

Resin bound is an ideal choice of surfacing technique for your commercial or domestic premises, perfect for driveways, pathways or outdoor spaces. It is a mix of high-quality resin and aggregate, usually stone or gravel and the resin binds these providing a smooth and solid finish.

Resin can also be customised as it comes in various colours and different sized stones and therefore alternative textures. This individual preference will enhance the aesthetics of your outdoor spaces, driveway or pathways.

Resin also has the benefit of being easy to clean, requires minimal maintenance and slip resistant so it is functional and will also provide visual appeal.

Stunning Block Paving Solutions.

A surfacing method that is very popular is Block paving. The finished surface provides a durable and stable surface with the interlocking blocks preventing movement and able to withstand heavy workloads and the added advantage of being easy to repair as replacing a damaged block does not disturb the whole surface making it suitable for commercial and residential use.

It involves interlocking bricks or blocks, which are made from either clay, concrete or natural stone. With a choice of colours, shapes, sizes and textures it offers the opportunity of creating a distinctive and solid design which is ideal for a patio, pathway or driveway.
