Tarmac Laying Contractors in Great Somerford โ what to expect
If you are considering a new tarmac driveway, resurfacing an existing one, or perhaps laying a path or private road around Great Somerford, the process is far more involved than simply pouring hot material. Proper work begins with excavating and laying a MOT Type 1 sub-base, which is then thoroughly compacted with a plate or roller to create a stable foundation. For a robust finish, contractors typically install an AC 20 binder course followed by an AC 10 surface course, with a tack coat applied between layers to ensure they bond correctly. Edge restraint kerbs are crucial in this area, not just for a clean look but to prevent the tarmac from spreading under load, and many properties here also require careful attention to driveway drainage to manage runoff from the heavier downpours we get in Wiltshire. For an existing but worn surface, a plane and overlay is often the most economical route, removing the top layer before re-laying, whereas a tar and chip finish might suit a more rural track. You will also need to consider dropped kerbs for vehicle access, which require council permission. Whether you are in the village itself or just outside the SN15 postcode district, the ground conditions can vary, so a site visit is always worthwhile. It pays to have a couple of local contractors from around Great Somerford look at your project and explain their proposed method, so perhaps gather a few quotes and see who feels right for the job.
