Why our surfacing lasts longer
Most surfacing fails because the construction underneath it was never right. We check before we quote, and tell you which problem you actually have.

Step 1
Call or send the details
Tell us the area and what has failed. Photographs help; a site address is enough to get us there.
Step 2

Common questions
The utility company reinstated it and it has sunk — can you fix it?
Yes, and it is common. If the backfill is the problem, the trench has to be taken out and refilled properly. Just relaying the tarmac on top will settle again.
What is the difference between interim and permanent reinstatement?
Interim is a temporary make safe intended to be replaced. Permanent is the full construction reinstated to specification. Interim left in place indefinitely is how most trench failures start.
Can you reinstate across a marked car park?
Yes, including reinstating any bay markings or hatching that the trench cut through.
How soon can we drive on it?
Tarmac can normally take traffic once it has cooled, which is usually the same day. We will confirm at the time based on thickness and temperature rather than making you wait unnecessarily.
Do we have to close the whole area?
No. We work in sections or overnight so most of the site stays usable. For retail and distribution sites that is how we work as standard.
Is a site survey and quotation free?
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 on the same day.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
Yes, and Ireland. Regional gangs cover single sites and national portfolios, including rolling surfacing programmes across several regions at once.
