FAQ – Road Surfacing & Repairs
Read some frequently asked questions about Carlisle tarmacadam surfacing and other services:
The majority of UK roads are made of Tarmacadam or Asphalt. This is a mixture of sand, gravel and stone in a tar or bitumen binder. This material is very hard wearing and can support great weights and differences in temperature. Some roads may also be made of concrete.
Surface dressing should be carried out when the road is dry. The process is relatively quick, with busy locations taking less than a day to complete and quieter roads often needing only 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the road.
Surface dressing is a maintenance and prevention treatment that can prolong the life of the road surface. ‘Tar & Chip’ surface dressing will re-seal and weatherproof a road, whilst also increasing tyre grip to improve braking and overall safety.
Taramcadam 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 regularly used interchangeably.
Thermoplastic is the most common material for line marking paint due to its hard-wearing and visibility.
Glass beads and titanium dioxide are often added to the paint mix, to improve safety and friction.
Pothole filling is usually carried out using a 4 stage process:
- The pothole is cleared of loose debris and poor quality tarmacadam
- A ‘tack coating’ of bitumen is applied to the pothole’s inner surface
- A hard-wearing tarmacadam mixture is poured into the pothole and levelled off
- Edges where the pothole repair meets the main surface are sealed with bitumen
Top layers of roads generally need resurfacing or surface dressing every 10-15 years. Full tarmac surface replacement is often only required after a number of decades.
Car park surfaces can be constructed on a number of materials depending on such factors as durability, local regulations, cost and drainage factors.
Surface material options include tarmacadam, concrete and shingle. We recommend tarmacadam car parks for most urban parking areas, as they provide the best combination of factors, plus allow easy line marking for parking bays.
