Tarmac Laying Contractors in Michelmersh — what to expect
For homeowners across Michelmersh and the surrounding SO51 district, having a new tarmac driveway laid, or an existing one refreshed, is a surprisingly straightforward process when the ground preparation is done properly. The standard approach begins with excavating the old surface and digging out to the required depth, before a thick layer of MOT Type 1 sub-base is tipped, levelled, and then thoroughly compacted with a vibrating plate or, for larger areas, a heavy roller. This creates a stable foundation that prevents the inevitable dips and potholes that come from poor drainage. After the sub-base is locked down, a tack coat is sprayed to help the new layers bond, followed by a binder course of AC 20, which is then rolled flat. The final wearing course, typically an AC 10 surface course, is laid on top and finished to a smooth, even texture. For those with an existing but tired tarmac path or private road, a plane and overlay is often the more economical choice, where the top layer is milled off and replaced without disturbing the base. Edge restraint kerbs are usually installed first to give a crisp line, and dropped kerbs are a common addition if you are extending a drive to the highway. Tar and chip finishes are also an option for a more rustic look on rural lanes. It is always wise to get a few local quotes from Michelmersh’s contractors to see what suits your own drive and budget before making a decision.
