Tarmac Laying Contractors in Old Shoreham — what to expect
Arriving at a tarmac driveway project in Old Shoreham, whether it’s a fresh lay on a new build or a tired surface that’s seen better winters, the work usually follows a familiar, methodical rhythm on the streets around the BN43 district. The old surface is taken up, and if the sub-base is found wanting, a fresh layer of MOT Type 1 sub-base is brought in, spread and levelled before a plate compactor or a heavy roller does its steady, vibrating work. For a proper overlay, the existing tarmac is often planed back at the edges, then a tack coat is sprayed down to guarantee a solid bond before the AC 20 binder course goes on, followed by the smoother AC 10 surface course. Edge restraint kerbs are set to keep the whole thing contained, and where the drive meets the pavement, a dropped kerb may be needed to get vehicles on and off without scraping. Drainage is considered at the same time, so standing water doesn’t pool where you don’t want it, and for longer private roads or shared drives, tar and chip offers a cost-effective, textured finish that wears well. Whether it’s a simple path to the front door or a full private road across a plot in West Sussex, the local contractors in Old Shoreham know the ground here—chalky, flinty, and prone to shifting if corners are cut on preparation. If you’re weighing up a repair or a complete re-surface, it’s worth getting a few local prices to see what feels right for your own driveway.
