Tarmac Driveway Contractor in Somerton

Tarmac Driveway Contractors in Somerton — what to expect

For homeowners and businesses in Somerton, Somerset, a durable and attractive asphalt driveway offers a practical and long-lasting solution. Whether you require a robust surface for a private road or a substantial commercial tarmacking project, our local contractors are adept at delivering quality results. They specialise in various asphalt applications, from the traditional hot-rolled asphalt, a highly durable material, to bitumen-bound macadam which provides excellent flexibility. For the foundation, a properly laid MOT type 1 sub-base is crucial, ensuring stability and drainage. The asphalt itself will typically comprise layers such as an AC 10 binder course to provide strength, topped with an AC 6 surface course for a smooth finish. A vital step before laying the asphalt is the application of a tack coat, ensuring good adhesion between layers. Skilled roller compaction is then employed to achieve a dense, even surface, and appropriate edge restraint is fitted to maintain the driveway's integrity. For those seeking a more distinctive look, coloured tarmac is an increasingly popular option, offering a range of aesthetic possibilities without compromising on the inherent strength of asphalt. Our services extend to comprehensive planing and resurfacing for existing driveways, breathing new life into tired surfaces. If you're considering a new asphalt driveway or require commercial tarmacking in the Somerton TA11 area, we invite you to compare quotes from experienced local providers.
