Resurfacing or Full Reconstruction?

Not every worn surface needs digging out completely. If the existing base is stable, resurfacing with a new tarmac layer can be a cost-effective option. If the surface is breaking up because the base has failed, a new top layer won’t last, and reconstruction is the better investment.

During your free site survey, we’ll assess the condition of the existing surface and base and give you an honest recommendation, not just the most expensive option.

Pothole Repairs Done Properly

Potholes get worse quickly, especially through North East winters when water gets in and freezes. We repair potholes by cutting out the damaged area to a clean edge, removing loose material, and laying and compacting fresh tarmac so the repair bonds and lasts. For car parks and private roads, we can repair multiple areas in one visit to reduce disruption.

Minimal Disruption for Businesses

We understand that closing a car park or access road affects your business. We’ll plan the work around your operating hours where possible, phase larger jobs so part of the site stays open, and keep you informed throughout. Once surfacing is complete, we can also carry out line marking so your site is ready to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you resurface over my existing tarmac?

If the existing base is sound, yes. If the surface is breaking up due to a failed base, we’ll recommend repairing or rebuilding the base first so the new surface lasts.

Do you repair potholes in car parks and private roads?

Yes. We carry out pothole repairs and patching for businesses, landlords, management companies and private road owners.

Can you work outside business hours?

We’ll do our best to plan work around your site’s needs. Let us know your requirements when you enquire.

How much does tarmac surfacing cost?

Cost depends on the area, the condition of the existing ground, the specification and access. We’ll provide a fixed quote after a free site survey.
