Tarmac Laying Contractors in Littleham — what to expect
Getting a new tarmac driveway laid in Littleham usually starts with the ground, and that is where the real skill shows. Most contractors will dig out the soft topsoil, lay a good thickness of MOT Type 1 sub-base, and then compact it properly with a vibrating plate or a roller, because if that base is not firm, the surface will not last. For the tarmac itself, the standard approach is a two-layer system: a chunky AC 20 binder course for strength, followed by an AC 10 surface course for a smooth, neat finish, all bonded with a tack coat between the layers. If your existing drive in Littleham is tired but still sound, many firms offer a plane and overlay, where the old top is milled off and fresh tarmac is laid over it, which is often a more cost-effective route than a full dig-out. The same crews handle paths and private road surfacing too, sometimes using a tar and chip finish for a more rustic look on rural lanes. Edge restraint kerbs are a common addition to keep the edges crisp and stop the gravel from spreading, and if you are coming off the road, you will need to sort out dropped kerbs with the council before any work begins. It is also worth asking about driveway drainage, as a well-graded surface with a linear channel will save you from puddles later. For any of these jobs around the EX8 area of Devon, it is sensible to get two or three local quotes first, just to see who feels right for the work.
