Services
Asphalt Surfacing
Our asphalt surfacing service provides durable, high-quality road and driveway surfaces using modern paving equipment. We handle projects from small private driveways to large commercial contracts across the North East. All work is completed by NVQ-qualified operatives, ensuring precise application and long-lasting results for both residential and industrial clients.
Road Planing
We offer efficient road planing services using 1m and 0.5m planers to remove worn surfaces while preserving structural integrity. Our Skid Steer machines with planer heads handle smaller jobs like footpaths and patching. This process prepares surfaces for resurfacing, extending the lifespan of roads and pavements for local authorities and private clients.
Road Lining
Our road lining service includes white line marking and full road construction projects. We provide precise markings for highways, car parks, and commercial sites, ensuring compliance with safety regulations. While we offer basic lining in-house, comprehensive marking solutions are arranged through trusted partners to maintain quality standards.
Haulage Services
Our haulage division operates articulated lorries, hook loaders, and hot boxes to transport materials and equipment across the North East. We ensure timely delivery of tarmac, machinery, and construction materials while also removing waste and planings from sites. This integrated approach guarantees project efficiency and logistical reliability.
Commercial Surfacing
We specialise in large-scale surfacing projects for commercial clients, including house builders and local authorities. Our capabilities cover site preparation, asphalt application, and finishing touches. With ISO certification and Constructionline approval, we meet strict deadlines while maintaining safety and quality standards for business and public sector contracts.
