Hot Bitumen Bonded Aggregate Surfacing

Hot bitumen bonded aggregate is a hard-wearing, natural-looking surface made by spraying hot liquid bitumen and bonding stone chippings into it. It's the same tried and tested material known as tar and chip or surface dressing, and it's our main specialist service.

How it's laid

We use state-of-the-art combi two-in-one tar and chip units. They spray the hot bitumen binder and roll the chippings in within seconds, so the stone bonds into hot binder. That gives better bonding and a smoother, harder-wearing finish.

Where it's used

  • Farm roads, farm lanes and steadings
  • Private driveways and long private roads
  • Estates, castles, manor houses and large private houses
  • Car parks, factories, warehouses and yards
  • Caravan parks, holiday parks and resorts
  • Golf clubs, leisure centres and leisure sites
  • Private and estate roads, and larger road surfacing projects

Why choose bitumen bonded aggregate?

It usually costs less than full tarmac on long lanes and big areas, it gives grip and a natural stone look, and it seals the surface underneath. It can be laid over sound existing tarmac or a well-prepared stone base.

Choice of stone

We can lay different stone colours and sizes, from a classic grey to golden and buff tones that suit country houses and estates.

Bitumen armour seal finish

For a black sealed finish with no loose chippings, we can add our bitumen armour seal over the top.

Areas we cover

We lay hot bitumen bonded aggregate across Glasgow (north, south, east and west), Ayrshire and Lanarkshire, and throughout the whole of Scotland.

We take on everything from driveways up to major road surfacing projects, car parks and roads.

Yes, if the old surface is sound. We repair any potholes first.
