Tarmac surfacing
Commercial tarmac surfacing across the UK and Ireland. Car parks, yards, access roads and footpaths surfaced, repaired and reinstated by our own gangs and our own plant, then marked out and handed back ready to use.
Why choose us
VCNY Group surfaces commercial car parks, service yards, access roads and footpaths across the UK and Ireland. Whether the surface needs patching, planing and overlaying, or taking back to formation and rebuilding, we survey it first and tell you which it is — because overlaying a failed sub base simply buys you two winters.
Every job is laid by directly employed gangs with our own pavers and rollers, using SHW compliant materials, and finished with the kerbs, drainage and line marking it needs. One contractor, one programme, and a car park that is back in use when we said it would be.
What we do
From day to day repairs and statutory compliance through to complete refurbishment and fit out. Every service below is delivered in house or through our long standing supply chain, managed by one team and invoiced on one account. Browse the cards and open any service for more detail.

In detail
From a single pothole to a full car park rebuild, the work below is laid by the same gangs using the same plant and materials, with the compaction and material records your file will need.
Car parks, yards, access roads and footpaths surfaced from formation up, or planed out and relaid where the base is still sound. Base, binder and surface course laid to falls and compacted while at temperature, with compaction records to prove it.
Failed areas cut out square, prepared, tacked and reinstated so the repair bonds rather than lifting after a frost. Reactive call outs for defects that have become a trip hazard or a claim, with a permanent repair the same visit wherever possible.
Where the sub base has gone, an overlay only hides the problem. We excavate, rebuild the construction with the right stone and compaction, and surface it once — so you are not paying for the same car park twice in five years.
Permanent reinstatement following utility trenches, drainage works and service diversions, finished flush with the surrounding surface. Covers and gullies raised or rebuilt to the finished level so nothing sits proud or ponds.
Kerbs, edgings and channels set to line and level, falls and gullies that actually take the water away, then bay marking, hatching, disabled and EV bays applied once the surface has cured. The whole external package on one order.
Rolling surfacing programmes across a portfolio, budgeted and scheduled in advance, reported site by site. Works phased overnight or section by section so car parks stay open and trading throughout.
The work either side of the surfacing is covered by the same group: civil engineering, line marking, anti skid coatings, specialist cleaning and building services — on the same order and the same programme.
How we work
Whether it is a single reactive repair or a full building refurbishment, every project receives the same structured approach, attention to detail and commitment to quality.
We visit, measure and photograph the building, then quote a fixed price against a written scope.
Dates, phasing, RAMS, permits and access arrangements agreed before anyone mobilises.
Our own teams on site, working around your operating hours, with daily progress updates.
Joint sign off, before and after photographs, waste transfer notes and certification.
Sectors
Every building comes with its own constraints and challenges — trading hours, staff and public on site, deliveries, access restrictions and operational requirements. We take the time to understand them before works begin, so the programme is planned around the way the building actually runs.
Overnight and out of hours works that keep units trading and customer parking open.
Doors, floors, racking bays and welfare areas maintained around 24 hour operations.
Delivered in holidays and half terms, with DBS checked supervision on site.
Infection control, clear access routes and disruption kept away from patients.
Framework and schedule of rates works across public buildings and estates.
Fit out, remedial and handover works taken through to practical completion.
Refurbishment and reactive repairs phased around service and event calendars.
Fabric, roofing, drainage and external works across multi unit estates.
One subcontractor for building works across your portfolio, reported for client packs.

From a single reactive repair to multi site refurbishment programmes running simultaneously, our teams mobilise the right resources, expertise and support to meet your requirements.
Areas we cover: London and the South East, the South West, the Midlands, the East of England, the North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, the North East, Scotland, Wales and Ireland — including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Bristol, Nottingham, Leicester, Newcastle, Southampton, Cardiff, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
FAQs
It depends what has failed. If the surface course is worn but the base underneath is sound, patching or an overlay is the sensible spend. If the sub base has gone, an overlay will crack through within a couple of winters. We core or dig a trial hole where it matters and tell you which it is before quoting.
A typical retail car park is a few days rather than weeks. We phase the work in sections or work overnight so most of the parking stays open, and tarmac can usually take traffic once it has cooled — normally the same day.
SHW compliant asphalt and macadam appropriate to the loading, laid at the right temperature and compacted properly. We will specify a heavier construction for HGV yards than for a staff car park, and say so rather than quoting the thinnest option to win on price.
Yes. Bay marking, hatching, arrows, disabled and EV bays are applied once the new surface has cured, by the same group, on the same order — so there is no gap between the surfacing finishing and the car park being usable.
Yes. We operate 24/7 and can attend quickly where a defect has become a trip hazard or a liability. We make safe and carry out a permanent repair rather than a temporary cold lay patch wherever possible.
Yes. Permanent trench reinstatement to specification, including raising or rebuilding covers and gullies so they finish flush with the surrounding surface.
Yes. Surveys and quotations are free and carry no obligation. We normally survey within a few working days and return a fixed price against a written scope shortly afterwards.
Yes, and Ireland. Regional gangs cover single sites and national portfolios, including rolling surfacing programmes delivered across several regions at once.
