The project in three chapters
Challenge, approach, outcome
-
01What had to be solved
The site challenge
The repair had to join the existing surface, fit around covers and drains, and avoid weak or sudden edges.
-
02How it was built
Our approach
We cut the damaged area back to a neat shape, prepared it to the right depth and rebuilt it in layers. The new tarmac was then compacted into the surrounding surface.
-
03
What was handed over
The outcome
The repaired area gives a smooth, continuous surface, with access covers kept and neat, firm edges.

The details that mattered
Four things we sort out early
What we plan around on every asphalt & resin job, and why we built this one the way we did.
-
Detail 01
Poor base
Laying over a base that moves, or has the wrong slope, just repeats the same problem in the new surface.
-
Detail 02
Edge damage
Cars turning and edges with nothing to hold them in often damage a surface that is otherwise fine.
-
Detail 03
Weather
Temperature and rain affect how well the surface is laid, especially resin.
-
Detail 04
Mixed materials
Joins to paving, the road, drainage channels and garages need strong, well-made details.
