Shared roads and estate access around Stirling
A shared road needs an agreed extent of work as well as a suitable surface. For a Stirling enquiry, identify the main lane, individual entrances, parking bays and turning spaces on a sketch or photographs. We assess the defects in each section and explain where repairs or regulation should precede the hot tar & chip.
For estates, visitor properties and rural premises, tell us about service vehicles and the routes that must stay available. We plan the treatment around the confirmed scope and suitable conditions, with reopening and aftercare instructions for road users. If the base or traffic pattern makes dressing unsuitable, we can discuss tarmac and local repairs.
Preparing your road for surface dressing
Hot tar & chip uses a bituminous binder and stone chippings, rolled into the prepared surface. We inspect the existing construction, drainage and damaged areas before recommending a specification. Potholes, weak edges and failed sections may need repairs first.
- Private and shared roads, farm lanes and estate access
- Larger driveways, entrances and suitable commercial grounds
- Preparation, patching and regulation where required
- Single- or two-coat treatments and aggregate options assessed for the site
Application depends on suitable weather and surface conditions. We agree the work programme, traffic arrangements and aftercare with you, including advice about initial speeds and loose chippings.
Tarmac repairs and pothole repairs before dressing
A shared entrance with broken edges or a car park with repeated potholes needs an assessment of the cause as well as the visible damage. We discuss local tarmac repairs, failed-base replacement where needed and the connection to the surrounding surface. Tell us which routes must remain accessible during repairs.
Tarmac and pothole repair enquiries in Stirling can be assessed on their own or as part of the preparation for surface dressing.

Surface dressing questions in Stirling
Can several households request one surface-dressing quotation?
Yes. Provide one agreed contact, the site location and the full area to be assessed. We can describe the shared road and any separately identified sections clearly in the quotation.
Will you inspect patches and standing water before quoting?
Yes. Photographs help us prepare, but drainage, soft spots and failed patches need to be considered in the specification. Any agreed repairs are set out before the dressing work.
What to send for your quotation
- The site postcode and approximate length and width
- Photographs of the full surface, damaged areas and entrance
- Vehicle types, drainage concerns and access restrictions
