Yes. We cater to both residential and commercial sectors. Our team is equipped to handle private driveways as well as industrial estates, retail car parks, and complete highway projects.
Tar and Chip (also known as Surface Dressing) is a combination of hot liquid tar used as a binder and stone gravel as the main structural component. Unlike tarmac, which is pre-mixed, these components are delivered separately and mixed on-site to create a natural, rustic finish.
Cost-Effective: Up to 40% cheaper than traditional tarmac.
Traction: Provides a rough, gritty surface that is excellent for inclines and wet weather.
Convenience: It can be driven on immediately after installation—no 24-hour waiting period required.
Aesthetics: Offers the look of a gravel drive but with the stones bonded into the surface.
Depending on usage and traffic volume, a tar and chip driveway typically has a life expectancy of approximately 8 years.
We recommend waiting at least 24 to 48 hours before any pedestrian or vehicle traffic uses the new surface. This allows the materials to cool, bind, and harden properly.
A Tarmac Overlay is a fast and cost-effective method where a new layer is applied over a pre-existing surface. This is ideal for worn-out driveways that are still structurally solid. We will assess your existing base to ensure there are no cracks or sinking before recommending an overlay.
Tarmac is incredibly durable and weather-resistant. When laid and maintained correctly, a tarmac driveway can last more than 15 years.
Resin Bound: The resin and aggregate are mixed before application, resulting in a smooth, solid finish that is fully water-permeable.
Resin Bonded: Resin is spread over the surface first, and gravel is scattered on top. This gives the appearance of loose gravel without the stones moving, but it is not permeable.
Block paving is exceptionally hard-wearing and is expected to last at least 20 years. It is strong enough for airports and docks, making it more than capable of handling heavy residential or commercial vehicle traffic.
Indian Sandstone is a natural stone that offers unique textures and colours. Beyond its beauty, it is highly resistant to cracking, fading, and erosion, making it a low-maintenance and high-value investment for patios and garden spaces.
