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 across the Western Isles
For a project spanning several Western Isles properties, send one location schedule with individual dimensions and site contacts. Hotels, community facilities, crofts, working yards and visitor parking can have different access and construction needs, even when organised under one enquiry.
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
Use the individual island and settlement as well as the postcode. Our local pages below help direct the enquiry.
For multi-site work, list priorities and access windows. We can review the sites together, while confirming transport and dates before booking.
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
Machine-laid tarmac, driveway work, footpaths and repairs are assessed with the supply and transport plan for each island. Number the work sections and identify changes in existing surface, failed edges and drainage before the new layers are specified.
