Asphalt Paving & Repair

Asphalt paving involves laying a smooth, durable surface made from a mixture of bitumen and aggregate stones. It’s a popular choice for roads, car parks, driveways and pathways.

We can lay fresh asphalt surfaces or perform repairs like sealing cracks and filling potholes to restore surface durability and extend its lifespan.

>>What is asphalt, and what are its uses?

For a new surface, we start by preparing a stable subbase. This includes installing a drainage layer to prevent water damage.

We then apply several layers of hot mix asphalt before levelling it and compacting it with a roller to create a smooth, even surface.

>>4 ways asphalt and tarmac can be used

Asphalt surfacing is:

• More cost effective than other paving materials
• Quick to install and fast to set and cure
• Easy to clean and maintain throughout its life
• Durable even under heavy traffic and harsh weather
• Smooth and sleek for exceptional visual appeal

>>4 key benefits of asphalt driveway installations

If your surface has cracks, loose aggregate, standing water or potholes, it’s time to schedule professional asphalt surface repair.

Early repair and preventative maintenance extends the lifespan of your asphalt surface. That means you can invest in quick, affordable works rather than more expensive resurfacing and replacement.

>>Signs an asphalt surface is in need of repair

A new asphalt driveway or parking area typically costs around £80-£110 per square meter.

Asphalt road paving usually costs much less at around £30-£60 per square meter. That’s because these works tend to be significantly larger, which brings the overall cost down.

Repairs like filling cracks and patching potholes can cost just £8-£20 per square meter depending on the extent of the damage.

>>The cost effectiveness of road repairs vs full resurfacing

Asphalt road paving can take anywhere between a few days to several months depending on the extent of the works and preparation required.

Driveways are much quicker and cheaper, often taking just 1-3 days. And we can finish small repairs within a day.

Asphalt surfaces usually set enough to handle light traffic in just 4-6 hours. Full curing can take up to 14 days.

A professionally installed and well-maintained asphalt surface typically lasts for 15-25 years.

In heavy-use areas like national highways or commercial parking spots, this could be shorter. But lightly used residential asphalt driveways or pathways last much longer.

Our team typically carries out asphalt surfacing in Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Reading and the surrounding areas. But we’re available throughout the UK on request.

We’re always happy to repair damage and carry out protective maintenance measures like surface dressing and sealcoating.

With regular maintenance from our asphalt surfacing experts, your surface can last as long as possible.
