Services
Tarmac Laying
We supply and lay high-quality tarmac surfaces certified by industry leaders like Tarmac and Cemex. Our solutions meet BREAM requirements and include cold planing, slurry sealing, and anti-skid treatments. Specialising in coloured and porous tarmac, we deliver durable, environmentally friendly installations for commercial, residential, and industrial sites.
Asphalt Contracting
Our asphalt contracting covers fuel-resisting, acid-resistant, and low-temperature applications. Accredited to install products from Aggregate Industries, Hanson, and FM Conway, we provide surfaces for highways, car parks, and play areas. All projects adhere to strict quality standards and include tactile paving and safe play materials.
Coloured Tarmac
We create visually striking surfaces using Tarmac Ulticolour and Bituchem Natratex. These UV-stable, durable finishes enhance aesthetics for retail parks, residential driveways, and public spaces. The permeable options comply with SUDS regulations, combining functionality with design flexibility.
Porous Tarmac
Our porous tarmac solutions, including Tarmac Ultidrive Porous and Cemex Viaflow, manage surface water effectively. Certified for vehicular and play areas, these systems reduce flooding risks while maintaining structural integrity for sustainable urban drainage applications.
Recycled Aggregate Products
We install eco-friendly recycled aggregate products (RAP) that repurpose construction waste. These surfaces meet environmental targets without compromising performance, offering cost-effective, sustainable alternatives for roadways, driveways, and industrial sites.
