Tarmac Laying Contractors in Wedmore — what to expect
For homeowners across Wedmore and the surrounding Somerset levels, having a new tarmac driveway laid, or an existing one refreshed, usually begins with a proper look at the ground beneath. A reputable local contractor will start by excavating to the right depth, then bringing in a well-graded MOT Type 1 sub-base, which is spread and compacted in layers using a vibrating plate or, for longer runs, a proper roller. On top of that, the binder course—typically an AC 20 dense bitumen macadam—is laid to create a solid foundation, followed by the AC 10 surface course for a smooth, closed finish that stands up to the damp winters. For paths and private roads around BS28, the same principles apply, though edges often need careful thought: installing edge restraint kerbs keeps the tarmac from crumbling at the margins, and if you’re linking to the highway, a dropped kerb with the right drainage is essential. Where an old surface has sunk or cracked, a plane and overlay is a practical, cost-effective option, while tar and chip remains a popular, low-maintenance choice for longer farm tracks and shared drives. Most jobs in Wedmore also call for a tack coat between layers to ensure everything binds properly, and a decent contractor will always consider how rainwater moves across the plot. If you’re thinking about a new drive or a repair in the Wedmore area, it’s worth getting a few local quotes to compare approaches and pricing before committing.
