If your driveway, road, or car park is damaged, old, or run down, it’s probably time for resurfacing. Even the strongest materials, like tarmac, suffer wear and tear over time and need to be relaid. If you’re planning on having your road or driveway resurfaced in Shrewsbury, there are some steps our team of experts take to ensure the best result. In this post, we’ll take you through our surfacing preparation process so you know what to expect.
Cleaning the Affected Area
Before a tarmac or resin surfacing project, the entire area needs to be thoroughly cleaned. Any dirt or debris will inevitably lead to bumps, cracks, and weak spots, which will significantly shorten the lifespan of your car park, road, or driveway.
Jetwashing, sweeping, and a visual inspection are all required to ensure the area is as clean as possible and ready for resurfacing.
Addressing Cracks and Flaws
Just like dirt and debris, any cracks or flaws will lead to weaknesses in the new surface. These need to be filled in before the top coat is applied.
Even hairline cracks can expand over time and cause your new resin or tarmac to split, so we make sure to fill in even the smallest cracks and flaws before we begin resurfacing.
“Roughing” the Surface
Car park resurfacing, in particular, often required a process known as ‘roughing’. To ensure the new layer of tarmac or resin adheres properly, the existing surface is roughed up. This usually requires industrial-grade surfacing equipment, which our team has on-site.
Resurfacing
Once the previous steps have been completed, the new surface can be poured. This is done slowly and meticulously to give a flawless finish.
The process of laying tarmac, concrete, and resin all differ slightly, but we have the equipment and expertise to give outstanding results every time.
