Tarmac Laying Contractors in Ham — what to expect
If you’re planning a new tarmac driveway, a path, or a private road in Ham, the local contractors around the EX13 area know exactly how to handle the region’s free-draining soil and gentle slopes. A typical job starts with excavating the soft ground, then laying a MOT Type 1 sub-base, which is compacted in layers with a vibrating plate or a heavy roller to give a firm, stable foundation. After that comes the AC 20 binder course, followed by an AC 10 surface course, both applied hot and rolled to a smooth, dense finish that suits Devon’s wet winters. For an existing but tired surface, many Ham residents opt for a plane and overlay, where the top layer is milled off, a tack coat is applied for adhesion, and a fresh wearing course is laid—this avoids the expense and mess of a full dig-out. Edge restraint kerbs are often installed to keep the tarmac neat and prevent crumbling at the borders, and if you’re connecting to the public highway, the firm will handle the dropped kerbs and any necessary drainage adjustments, such as a linear channel or a gully, to keep water moving away from the house. Whether it’s a short garden path or a longer private road serving a few properties, the local teams work methodically, and they’re happy to talk through the different options, like tar and chip for a more textured, low-cost finish. If you’re thinking about having this work done, it’s worth getting a few local quotes to see what feels right for your project.
