Tarmac Laying Contractors in Old Bricket Wood — what to expect
Whether you’re refreshing a tired front garden or laying a new private road, tarmac work in Old Bricket Wood tends to follow a familiar, dependable sequence: excavate, lay a MOT Type 1 sub-base, and compact it properly with a plate compactor or roller before any blacktop goes down. For driveways and paths, contractors usually apply an AC 20 binder course first, then an AC 10 surface course, and finish with edge restraint kerbs to keep the edges crisp and stable. Overlays are common in the AL2 district too—if your existing surface is sound but showing its age, a plane and overlay can remove the top few millimetres and lay a fresh course without digging up the whole footprint, which is often a cleaner and more cost-effective route. Drainage is another consideration that comes up regularly in Hertfordshire, especially where the ground is clay-heavy; a well-graded fall and, where needed, a dropped kerb with proper consent can make all the difference between a puddle-prone patch and a surface that sheds water easily. Tar and chip remains a practical, low-maintenance option for longer private drives, though many homeowners in Old Bricket Wood prefer the smoother finish of a full tarmac lay for day-to-day use. If you’re weighing up options for your own property, it’s worth speaking to a couple of local firms to compare quotes and see what they suggest for your ground conditions and budget.
