Tarmac Laying Contractors in Shillingford — what to expect
When it comes to resurfacing a tired driveway, laying a new path, or upgrading a private road in Shillingford, the work is far more involved than simply rolling out a fresh layer of blacktop. A proper tarmac laying job here typically starts with excavating the old surface, then bringing in a MOT Type 1 sub-base, which is compacted in layers with a plate compactor or a heavy roller to create a stable foundation that can handle Devon’s clay soils and winter rain. From there, contractors in the EX16 area will often lay an AC 20 binder course, followed by an AC 10 surface course, with a tack coat applied between the two to ensure the layers bond properly. For existing drives that have sunk or cracked, a plane and overlay approach is common, where the top few millimetres are milled off before the new surface goes down, and edge restraint kerbs are set to keep the edges clean and prevent future spreading. Drainage is another key consideration, so a decent contractor will always factor in falls and, where needed, install dropped kerbs to keep surface water off the road. Some properties in the Shillingford area also opt for a tar and chip finish for a more textured, cost-effective look on longer rural tracks. If you’re thinking about any of these options, it’s worth having a couple of local firms look at the site and give you a straight quote, as prices and approaches can vary quite a bit across the county.
