Asphalt paving, surfacing and repair FAQs

What is asphalt paving?

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.

How are asphalt surfaces laid?

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.

What are the benefits of using asphalt?

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

When do I need asphalt repair?

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.

How much does asphalt paving and repair cost?

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.

How long does asphalt surfacing take?

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.

How long will an asphalt surface last?

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.

Where does Hazell & Jefferies Ltd provide asphalt paving and repair?

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

Do you offer asphalt surface maintenance?

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.
