Tarmac Laying Contractors in Lightwater โ what to expect
Getting a new tarmac driveway laid in Lightwater usually starts with digging out the old surface and grading the ground before a MOT Type 1 sub-base is tipped and compacted with a vibrating plate or roller, depending on the size of the area. From there, a reputable local contractor will lay an AC 20 binder course first, followed by an AC 10 surface course, rolling each layer to the correct density so the finish is smooth and free of soft spots. For existing but tired driveways in the GU18 area, many homeowners opt for a plane and overlay, where the top few millimetres are stripped off and a fresh tack coat is applied to guarantee the new tarmac bonds properly. Edging with precast concrete kerbs is often included as a neat restraint, and if the property fronts onto a road, a dropped kerb may be required to allow vehicles to cross the pavement legally. Paths and private road surfacing across Surrey follow much the same principle, though a tar and chip finish can be a practical alternative for longer drives where a more textured, rustic look is preferred. Proper drainage is always considered, with falls built into the surface to keep water moving away from the house, and if you are planning any work, it is worth asking a couple of local contractors to look at the site and give you a clear quote before you commit.
