Services
Asphalt Preservation
Asphalt preservation extends road lifespan through preventative maintenance, using environmentally responsible techniques to seal surfaces and prevent deterioration. Our methods reduce the need for resurfacing, offering cost-effective, durable solutions. This service ensures road safety while minimising environmental impact.
Surface Dressing
Surface dressing applies a protective layer to existing roads, preventing water ingress and enhancing surface durability. This time-proven method is ideal for maintaining highway integrity. It provides a skid-resistant finish, improving safety for road users while delivering long-term value.
Microasphalt
Microasphalt offers a smooth, durable overlay that seals minor cracks and restores surface texture. It complements surface dressing by providing a refined finish. This solution is quick to apply, reducing road closures and disruption for communities.
CAUTS
Cold Applied Ultra Thin Surfacing (CAUTS) delivers a high-performance, low-carbon alternative to traditional asphalt. HAPAS-approved, it enhances road surfaces with minimal material use. This method ensures rapid reinstatement and long-term resilience against wear.
Footways
Footway treatments improve safety and longevity for pedestrian areas using surface dressing or microasphalt techniques. These solutions address wear from foot traffic and weather. They provide slip-resistant, even surfaces, enhancing accessibility and durability for public spaces.
