We use state-of-the-art combi two-in-one surface dressing units: one machine sprays hot bitumen binder onto the lane, then within seconds spreads the chippings, which are rolled in. Hotter bitumen means stronger bonding – exactly what a lane carrying daily tankers needs – and a smoother, harder-wearing surface.
Dairy and livestock farms
Heavy tankers and feed lorries quickly break up a weak lane. We repair the worst sections and potholes with hot tarmac, then lay a two-coat surface dressing that seals the lane and stands up to daily heavy traffic. We have laid two-coat hot tar and chip on a large driveway near Stranraer.
Estates and houses
Tar and chip suits the stone farmhouses and estate drives of the region. Choose a chip colour to match – golden gravel, granite or a darker stone. For a black finish with no loose chippings, we can apply our bitumen armour seal over the dressing, and the same seal rejuvenates tired tarmac and asphalt yards.
Tarmac work
Where yards need tarmac, we've laid machine-laid tarmac on farm roads near Stranraer, and can quote for both in one visit.

Tell us roughly how long the lane is and how often tankers or lorries use it. We'll visit and give a written price.
Cattle grids, gateways and the first stretch off the public road take the most punishment, so we pay particular attention to those when preparing a lane for dressing.
Our work ranges from private driveways up to major road surfacing projects, car parks and private and estate roads.
