Tarmac Laying Contractors in Fordingbridge — what to expect
When it comes to tarmac driveways, overlays, paths and private road surfacing in Fordingbridge, the work usually begins with a proper MOT Type 1 sub-base, compacted in layers with a vibrating plate or a roller to give the ground a stable, frost-resistant foundation. From there, a competent team will lay an AC 20 binder course to build the body of the surface, followed by an AC 10 surface course for that smooth, dark finish that drains well and stands up to Hampshire’s damp winters. Many properties in the SP6 area opt for a plane and overlay rather than a full dig-out, which is a sensible way to refresh an existing tarmac surface provided the base is sound—though it does require a tack coat to bond the new layer to the old, and careful attention to levels so water runs to the gullies. Edge restraint kerbs are a detail worth getting right, as they keep the edges crisp and stop the tarmac from fraying over time, while dropped kerbs for vehicle access often need a separate permit from the county council, so it’s wise to factor that into the timeline. For a longer private road, tar and chip is another option that gives a textured, low-cost finish, though it’s not as tidy as a full tarmac job. Most contractors in Fordingbridge will come out to measure, talk through drainage and access, and give a written quote, so it’s worth comparing a few local firms to see who fits your budget and your driveway’s particular needs.
