Our state-of-the-art combi two-in-one tar and chip units spray the hot liquid bitumen and lay the aggregate seconds later, before rolling it in. The stone is set into hot binder, giving better bonding and binding and a smooth, hard-wearing finish on farm roads and private access lanes alike.
Farms
Arable and livestock farms around Inverurie, Huntly, Turriff and Ellon often have long lanes to the public road. A two-coat surface dressing seals them and gives grip for tractors, grain lorries and livestock floats. We've surface dressed farmhouse driveways near Huntly and a farm lane near Alford.
Royal Deeside and estates
Estate roads around Banchory, Aboyne and Ballater wind through woodland and along the Dee. We prepare the road – repairing potholes and edges – before applying tar and chip.
Granite to match granite
Aberdeenshire houses are built from granite, and a granite chip finish complements them perfectly. We've laid granite driveway dressing in Kemnay and golden gravel at Kintore. For a black sealed finish with no loose chippings, our bitumen armour seal can go over the dressing, and it also rejuvenates tired tarmac and asphalt.

What surface dressing is not suited to
A dressing needs a sound base. If a lane has deep ruts or has lost its shape, we'll recommend regulating it first – sometimes with planings – or tarmac for the worst sections. We'll be honest about this when we visit, so the money is spent where it lasts. Shaded woodland drives on Deeside may also need branches cut back first.
From driveways to car parks, roads and major road surfacing projects, we handle jobs of every size.

Alford farm lane surface dressing – 1.2-metre road widening
First-layer hot tar and chip application on a widened farm lane in Alford, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Our specialist combi unit was set to a 1.2-metre working width, applying hot bitumen and premium granite roadstone chippings to the prepared road planings beside the existing tarmac.
Customer feedback from Aberdeen
Outstanding Quality & Fantastic Service!
Our commercial fish house in Aberdeen had become a total nightmare due to severe potholes and deteriorating tarmac. It was rapidly becoming dangerous for our forklifts and heavy loading trucks. We received several quotes for standard tarmac repairs, but they were quite expensive from local contractors.
Then we reached out to UK Roadworks Group. They came in, expertly completed the patch repairs, and then applied two machine-laid layers of hot tar and chip surface dressing using a grey granite chip. It looks superb and really complements the grey whinstone walls of our factory building!
The surface has been down for three months now, and it is holding up exceptionally well. We couldn't recommend them highly enough for commercial resurfacing.
