Halstead Tarmac Contractors
Approved Tarmacadam Surfacing for Roads & Paths in Halstead
Tarmac is a great, cost-effective solution for Halstead surfaces and highways. This type of surface is hard-wearing and will last a long time, whilst also looking great. It is smooth, permeable and suitable for all kinds of traffic, such as pedestrians, cars, bikes and other vehicles.
The permeable nature of Tarmacadam means it suits all Halstead weather conditions. Rainwater easily drains through the surface, avoiding puddles and standing water.
How is a Tarmac Surface Laid?
Before laying tarmac we will first excavate the current surface and lay a compacted stone sub-base. Once the area is prepared, hot tar or bitumen is mixed with aggregate, then poured and shaped to the area. This ensures you are left with a completely smooth, level path or road surface.

Road & Path Surfacing FAQs
Read some of the frequently asked questions about our Tarmac surfacing services:
Tarmacadam is often referred to by its brand name of ‘Tarmac’ and is very common on UK roads. The binder in tarmacadam is tar, whereas asphalt uses a bitumen binder. Both terms are often used interchangeably.
Most Halstead roads are made from Tarmacadam or Asphalt, which consists of sand, gravel, and stone in a tar/bitumen binder. This material is very hard wearing and can support great weights and fluctuations in temperature. Some roads may also be made of concrete.
Tarmacadam dries exceptionally quickly, cooling and hardening after about five to eight hours. On the other hand, concrete can take several days to fully cure, meaning that if you’re looking for the quickest road installation, Tarmac is the material for you.
Surface dressing involves covering an existing surface in a new layer of ‘Tar & Chip’. This preventative maintenance helps roads maintain their good condition.
Resurfacing is a more extensive structural maintenance treatment which involves digging out up to 300mm of a worn-out road surface and replacing it with new material such as tarmacadam or asphalt.
As a completely natural and fully recyclable material, Tarmac can be considered one of the most environmentally friendly methods of surfacing available.
