Tar and chip driveways, private roads and farm access
Send the driveway or lane length, changing widths and separate parking or turning areas. Tell us about the existing material, water run-off, soft edges and earlier repairs. The surface is assessed before cleaning, repairs, grading or regulation and the binder-and-aggregate system are agreed.
Commercial surface dressing on the Isle of Bute
For Bute hotels, shops, visitor facilities and workshops, mark service access separately from guest or customer parking. Identify the retained entrances, accessible routes and delivery hours so the work can be planned around occupied premises.
Surface dressing is assessed for suitable external access and parking sections. Concentrated loading, repeated tight turns and failed foundations need separate consideration; the proposed work can combine local repairs with a stone-chip finish where suitable.
Bitumen spraying and chipping
Our combi units apply the specified bituminous binder and stone chippings, followed by rolling. Single- or two-coat work is selected for the prepared base and intended traffic. The aggregate designation describes the stone size, not a guaranteed finished-layer thickness.
Hot tar spraying and chipping, spray and chip, tar and gravel surfacing and bitumen bonded aggregate are names customers use for this work. The written scope confirms the actual materials, preparation, treatment area and aftercare.
Plan machinery, materials and access
Include Rothesay, Port Bannatyne or the relevant rural location and the final approach to the work.
Confirm the owner or factor coordinating shared access and any dates when parking or delivery routes must remain available.
Supply arrangements and transport are assessed before a programme is agreed. Include the full access route, narrowest gate and space for deliveries alongside the surface measurements.
Compare the finish with tarmac
Bute tarmac enquiries can cover shared roads, private driveways, car parks and footpaths. Send a measured work boundary and photographs of the existing base, drainage and failed areas for repair or resurfacing assessment.
