Our Tarmac Services.

Tarmac or asphalt or blacktop is often the chosen material for a variety of uses from roads, airports, car parks and driveways. Tarmac consists of a combination of aggregates, either gravel or crushed stones and then with bitumen derived from crude oil. Prior to its use it has to be heated and blended before being spread and compacted onto a prepared surface.

Tarmac is favoured above other materials because it has certain advantages. It is known to be durable, can withstand heavy weather conditions and is suitable for heavy traffic loads. Another advantage is that it has excellent water resistance thus preventing water from seeping into underlying layers and causing damage. Tarmac is also easily repaired and resurfaced, extending its lifespan.

Tar & Chip Surfacing.

Road construction costs include selecting a suitable surfacing technique. Tar & Chip or chip and seal as it is sometimes referred to is a cost effective and more affordable option than other surfacing techniques and requires minimal maintenance.  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.

Used in the construction of roads, driveways and carparks, benefits of this surfacing technique is that the completed surface is durable, skid resistant, provides remarkable traction and also prevents water from accumulating, it is also ideal in coping with heavy traffic.

Stunning Block Paving Solutions.

Block paving is a surfacing method that 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.

With its resilience and stability provided by the interlocking blocks which prevent movement and therefore able to withstand heavy workloads makes it perfect for commercial and residential use. Easily repaired as damaged individual blocks can be replaced without affecting the entire surface makes it not only a practical surfacing technique but also one that adds visual appeal.
