From driveways and footpaths to estate roads and car parks, we lay asphalt and tarmacadam that's built for the traffic it carries.
Overview
S Calladine & Son have a long track record across thousands of surfacing jobs for private and public sector clients. No job is too small.
Our fleet carries modern surfacing equipment, so we work efficiently and cost-effectively and get results that are second to none. Our project managers work with you from the first survey to handover, so the finished surface meets the agreed specification and is delivered on schedule.
Machine-laid surface course
Where we use it
Methods
A paver gives consistent thickness, better compaction, a smoother finish and fewer joints. It's ideal for roads and large car parks.
Better for footpaths, tight corners, small areas and around ironwork.
Paver hire is available on request. Ask us for details.
Materials
AC 20 binder course, AC 10 close-graded and AC 6 dense surface courses. A versatile choice for car parks, estate roads, footways and drives.
A dense, durable surface often finished with pre-coated chippings for grip. A traditional choice for busier roads.
Hard-wearing, rut-resistant and quieter, which suits heavier traffic and fuel-exposed areas.
Removes worn surface to a controlled depth so kerb upstands and levels are kept. Planings are recycled where test results allow.
We buy materials from leading producers, including Tarmac, Hanson, Cemex, Lafarge, Colas and Bituchem, so we can choose the right mix for every job. We only use fully vetted suppliers.
Layers explained
A road is only as good as what's beneath it. Each layer has its own job.
