How it works

Our process

Site preparation
The area is cleared and levelled, ready for surfacing.
Tar application
A layer of hot tar is applied evenly across the surface.
Chip spreading
Stone chip is spread over the tar while it's still workable.
Rolling
The surface is rolled to bed the chip securely into the tar.
Sweep and finish
Loose chip is swept off and the surface is checked before we leave.
