The build-up we price

What we do on tarmac resurfacing

Tarmac resurfacing, or an overlay, means cleaning and repairing an existing drive, spraying a bond coat and laying a new surface course of about 25–40 mm on top, without digging out the base.

Cut out and patch failed areas before overlaying
Plane or cut back at thresholds, kerbs and covers so levels still work
Bond (tack) coat sprayed to glue the new layer to the old
New surface course, typically 25–40 mm, laid hot and rolled
Edges sealed and joints to existing surfaces cut neatly
