Our Tarmac Services.

A popular surfacing material is Tarmac, other familiar terms for this are asphalt or blacktop. This material is composed of aggregates such as crushed stones or gravel and bitumen that is derived from crude oil. It has first to be heated and blended before being spread and compacted on a surface that is already prepared. It is used in roads, airports, driveways and carparks.

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 plus the lifespan of tarmac can be extended as it is easily repaired.

Tar & Chip Surfacing.

Tar & Chip or chip seal is a favoured surfacing technique that is used for roads, car parks and driveways. The reason for this is because of the benefits that it offers. It is installed by pouring a layer of hot liquid tar (asphalt) over a prepared surface and then followed immediately by adding a layer of aggregate chips which adhere to the tar. This makes it a cost effective method of surfacing and also it a more affordable option when compared to other surfacing materials.

Further benefits are that not only is the surface resilient but it has excellent traction and avoids water accumulation, it is ideal for heavy traffic, is skid resistant and finally has the added benefit of requiring minimal maintenance.
