Tarmac Laying Contractors in Folkestone — what to expect
Whether you’re refreshing a tired front garden, replacing a worn path, or laying a new private road, tarmac work in Folkestone needs a practical, local approach. The process typically begins with excavating and grading, followed by a well-compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, which is then levelled and prepared for the tarmac laying itself. Most contractors here will use an AC 20 binder course for the lower layer, topped with an AC 10 surface course, and then finish with a smooth roller pass to ensure a firm, even texture. For existing but failing surfaces, a plane and overlay is often the more cost-effective route, where the old top layer is removed, a tack coat is applied, and fresh tarmac is laid over the sound base. This works particularly well for driveways in the CT20 area, where the steep slopes and coastal weather can take their toll on older asphalt. You’ll also find that proper edge restraint kerbs are standard practice along the Kent coast, as they keep the edges crisp and prevent future crumbling, while dropped kerbs and even simple driveway drainage can be integrated into the same job if needed. On quieter paths, a tar and chip finish might be considered for a more textured, rustic look. Whatever the scope, it’s always sensible to have a few Folkestone-based contractors look at your site and give you a straightforward, itemised quote before you commit. A little local comparison goes a long way.
