SURFACING FOR private roads

PRIVATE ROAD SURFACING ACROSS THE UK

Unlike public roads, private roads are normally looked after by the people who own them, whether that’s a homeowner, a residents’ group, a management company or a developer. We resurface and repair private roads for all of them, and manage the project from the first survey through to completion.

We agree the materials and approach with you before work begins and plan the programme to keep disruption to residents, visitors and access as low as we can.

We surface and repair private roads for:

  • Housing developments
  • Gated communities and private estates
  • Established and historic streets
  • Private driveways
  • Industrial and business estate roads
  • Warehouse and factory service roads and yards
  • Agricultural access roads

Surfacing that lasts

A COMPLETE private road SERVICE

How well a new surface performs depends as much on preparation as on the material itself. We assess the existing surface, the base beneath it, the drainage and the traffic the site carries, and we recommend a specification to match.

We can manage the whole project, from the survey and specification through to resurfacing, repairs and line markings, so you deal with one contractor from start to finish.

A typical project follows these stages:

  1. Survey and specification. We inspect the site and agree the scope and materials.
  2. Preparation. Failed areas are removed or repaired and the base is made ready to take the new surface.
  3. Laying. The tarmac or asphalt is laid to the right levels and falls so that water drains properly.
  4. Compaction and finishing. The surface is rolled, and the edges and joints are completed neatly.
  5. Markings and finishing. Line markings and any final details are completed once the surface is ready.

Where a surface can be repaired or overlaid rather than replaced, we will tell you. Our advice is based on what your site actually needs.

HONEST ADVICE

REPAIR OR RESURFACE?

Many private roads don’t need replacing. Where the base is sound and the drainage is working, repairing potholes, patching worn areas or laying a new surface over the old one can restore the road at a lower cost than starting again.

Where the base has failed, the drainage is poor or the damage is widespread, resurfacing is the better long-term investment. We’ll inspect the road, explain what we find in plain terms and recommend the option that suits it, even when that is the smaller job.

FAQs

Private road SURFACING Questions

Or call 0333 054 1970

What are road surfaces made of?

Most roads are surfaced with tarmac or asphalt, which is aggregate (stone, sand and filler) bound together with bitumen. It is hard-wearing and copes with heavy loads and changes in temperature. Some roads are made of concrete, and quieter tracks may be gravel or earth.

What are the main types of private road surface?

The most common are tarmac or asphalt, tar and chip (also called surface dressing) and unbound gravel or earth tracks. Concrete is also used in some places. Which suits your road depends on the traffic it carries, the drainage and your budget, and we’ll recommend one after a survey.

How often does a private road need resurfacing?

It depends on the traffic, the quality of the base and drainage and the weather. As a rough guide, the top layer of a road often needs attention every 10 to 15 years, while a well-built road with prompt repairs can last for decades before it needs rebuilding.

Can you repair my private road instead of resurfacing it?

Often, yes. Where the base is sound, potholes, worn patches and localised damage can be repaired, and in some cases the existing surface can be overlaid. We’ll survey the road and tell you honestly which option makes sense.

Who is responsible for maintaining a private road?

Normally the owner or owners. For a shared road, that might be a management company, a residents’ association or the individual property owners, depending on the title deeds. We aren’t legal advisers, so check your deeds or take legal advice if responsibility is unclear. We can then survey the road and quote.

How much does private road surfacing cost?

The price depends on the length and width of the road, its condition, the materials and the access to the site, so every project is quoted individually. We’ll carry out a free survey and send a written quotation.
