Tarmac Laying Contractors in Kidlington — what to expect
When it comes to resurfacing a tired driveway in Kidlington, the work usually starts well before the first tonne of asphalt is tipped. A reliable contractor will assess the existing base, dig out any soft spots, and lay a fresh MOT Type 1 sub-base, compacting it in layers with a vibrating plate before any tarmac is mixed on site. For most residential drives in the OX5 area, the spec tends to follow a familiar pattern: a 40mm AC 20 binder course, well rolled, followed by an AC 10 surface course to give that smooth, dense finish that shrugs off puddles. Overlays are common too, where the old surface is sound but worn; a plane and overlay saves money and time, though a tack coat is essential to bond the new layer to the old. Paths and private roads around Kidlington often need more thought, with edge restraint kerbs set in concrete to stop the edges feathering, and a proper fall built in so driveway drainage works without pooling near the house. If you’re extending onto the pavement, dropped kerbs require a separate council application, and a decent contractor will handle that paperwork without fuss. Tar and chip finishes are a cheaper alternative for longer farm tracks, but for a clean, hard-wearing surface, tarmac remains the practical choice across Oxfordshire. It’s worth getting two or three local firms to quote on the same written specification, so you can compare like for like before committing.
