Driveway repair, Tarmac patch repairs and Surface Dressing 

Surface Dressing is a quick and effective way of giving a new lease of life to a tarmac surface that is beginning to show signs of fatigue and wear. The driveway or road is repaired with tarmac patching, made level with pre’ surface dressing patching and then a full top layer of K-170 hot premium bitumen is sprayed onto the tarmac surface quickly followed by high quality, local hardstone chipping. It is then rolled to ensure proper embedment of the aggregate into the bitumen binder. This provides an economical and water impervious layer with the added benefit of pothole prevention and a much-improved surface texture which provides increased skid resistance properties ensuring tarmac driveways is sealed from any further deteriation

Tarmac Driveways Carlisle Cumbria

Tarmac has been around since the 1830 and is very common among homeowners as it is mainly relatively cost effective and cheaper to maintain than many other of its counterparts. It can be used on many domestic, commercial agricultural and industrial areas, it can be machine or hand laid with it’s added benefits of being very hard wearing and low maintenance. Tarmacadam driveways has improved massively in recent years becoming stronger and more flexible, especially heavy duty asphalt materials being used on commercial projects. These are suitable for heavy traffic areas such as private/residential roads, business premises, car parks, Farm roads, factory forecourts etc.

Where can Tarmac Cumbria be used?

Anywhere From tarmac driveways, private roads, residential drives, foot paths and walkways, farm roads, silage pits, caravan parks, tennis courts, school playgrounds, golf clubs, just about all premises road surfaces can benefit from tarmacadam.

 

What will we do?

It all depends on the existing surface for example if you have an old tarmac driveway which is in very bad condition, cracked, potholed etc the existing surface would be completely removed. Then we would use a solid base to build up the driveway to a necessary level which then would be compacted. We can then coat the area with a tack coat bitumen to help bond the base and the newly laid product together. Finally we would re-surface using a grade of tarmacadam or asphalt surfacing to suit which would then be power rolled until we reach an even consolidated area. We can then seal the edges with bitumen to stop water ingress on the joints.
