Our Tarmac Services.

Tarmac, also known as asphalt or blacktop is widely favoured over other surfacing materials, its components are aggregates – for example gravel or crushed stone and bitumen, the latter being derived from crude oil. For use it is heated and blended to form a hot, workable material that is then spread and compacted onto a prepared surface. This surfacing material is often used for car parks, roads, driveways and airports.

It has a number of advantages which includes its durability, resistance to heavy weather conditions and ideal for heavy traffic loads, it also has water resistance which prevents water seeping into the layers underneath and causing damage. Another advantage is that tarmac is easily repaired so the surface lifespan can be extended.

Tar & Chip Surfacing.

The installation of Tar & Chip or chip and seal, 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 adhering to the sticky tar. This creates a surface that is durable and its rough texture which is also skid resistant.

This technique is favoured for being cost effective and a more affordable option when compared to other techniques, it also requires minimal maintenance. It also has further advantages in that the surface offers excellent traction, prevents water accumulation, and is able to deal with heavy traffic.
