Tarmac Laying Contractors in Lyme Regis β what to expect
When it comes to resurfacing a tired driveway, laying a fresh path, or redoing a private road around Lyme Regis, the local work tends to follow a familiar, practical sequence. A typical job starts with excavating the old surface, then bringing in a MOT Type 1 sub-base which is spread and compacted with a vibrating plate or a small roller, depending on the size of the area. From there, an AC 20 binder course is laid to give the structure its strength, followed by an AC 10 surface course for that smooth, dark finish. For driveways in Lyme Regis that have become uneven or cracked, a plane and overlay approach is often favouredβthis involves removing the top layer and adding a fresh coat, which is quicker and less disruptive than a full dig-out. Edge restraint kerbs are usually set along the borders to keep the material in place, and if the property fronts onto a road, proper dropped kerbs are installed to match the highway. Tack coat is brushed on between layers to ensure they bond, while some folks prefer a tar and chip finish for a more textured, cost-effective look on longer private drives. Good drainage is always considered, with a slight fall built into the surface to move water away from the house. If you are thinking about any of this work in the DT7 area of Dorset, it is worth taking a little time to compare quotes from a few local contractors to see what approach and price suits your project best.
