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 North Uist and South Uist
Uist business and accommodation enquiries should separate guest parking, working yards and delivery approaches. Mark any route shared with neighbouring crofts or properties and identify the contact authorised to coordinate the work.
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
State North Uist or South Uist and provide a site pin. Enquiries from Berneray, Grimsay and Eriskay should also name the individual island.
Tell us about agricultural collections, livestock movements and deliveries that need access during preparation and surfacing.
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
For a Uist access road, measure changing widths, passing places and entrance courts rather than estimating only the main lane. Photographs of the road edges and water movement help us assess drainage, base preparation and the proposed tarmac construction.
