Tarmac Laying Contractors in Bow — what to expect
When it comes to laying a new tarmac driveway in Bow, most contractors will start by stripping back the existing ground and bringing in a well-compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, which is then levelled and rolled before any binder goes down. The usual spec involves an AC 20 binder course followed by an AC 10 surface course, with plate compaction and a proper roller pass to give you that smooth, dense finish that stands up to Devon’s wetter months. For properties in and around TQ9, this is a fairly standard approach, whether you’re resurfacing a short front path or a longer private road that sees a bit of farm traffic. Overlays are another common job here, where the existing surface is planed back, given a tack coat to help the new layer bond, and then re-laid to avoid building up the levels too much around kerbs and drainage channels. Edge restraint kerbs are often installed first to keep the edges neat and stop the tarmac from feathering out, and if you’re linking the drive to the highway, dropped kerbs will need to be arranged through the local council. Tar and chip finishes are less frequent but still offered for that slightly more textured look on rural tracks. For most households in Bow, it’s worth getting a couple of local firms to look at the ground conditions and give you a written spec, so you can compare quotes without any pressure and choose what feels right for your own driveway.
