Why Choose Us?
What Exactly is Surface Dressing, or Tar and Chip?
Surface dressing is a specialised road surfacing technique that involves applying a layer of hot bitumen emulsion onto your existing surface. Immediately following this, we spread a layer of high-quality aggregate chippings, which are then compacted to ensure they embed firmly into the bitumen. This process creates a robust, skid-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing finish. It’s an ingenious way to seal and protect your surfaces from water penetration, prevent further deterioration, and significantly extend their lifespan. Unlike a full resurface, which involves removing and replacing the entire structure, surface dressing works with your current base, making it a faster and more economical choice for durable surfacing.

Opting for surface dressing or tar and chip from River Vale (U.K) Ltd brings a wealth of benefits for your property in Tadley and surrounding areas:

- Enhanced Durability: The new layer of bitumen and chippings acts as a protective shield, significantly extending the life of your underlying tarmac or asphalt surface.
- Improved Aesthetics: Surface dressing provides a fresh, clean, and appealing look, transforming a dull or damaged surface into something smart and well-maintained.
- Increased Skid Resistance: The aggregate chippings provide excellent grip, enhancing safety for vehicles and pedestrians, especially in wet conditions.

At River Vale (U.K) Ltd, we pride ourselves on a professional and thorough approach to every tar and chip installation. Our experienced team follows a meticulous process to ensure a superior, long-lasting result for your road surfacing, driveway surfacing, or car park surfacing project:
- Preparation is Key: We begin by thoroughly cleaning and preparing the existing surface, addressing any significant repairs, filling potholes, and ensuring it's free from debris and loose material.
- Bitumen Application: A uniform layer of hot bitumen emulsion is precisely sprayed onto the prepared surface, acting as the crucial adhesive.
- Chipping Spreading: High-quality aggregate chippings are immediately and evenly spread over the hot bitumen.
- Compaction: The chippings are then firmly rolled and compacted using specialist machinery, ensuring they bond securely with the bitumen and create a strong, interlocked surface.
- Final Sweep: Any excess, loose chippings are swept away, leaving you with a durable, ready-to-use surface. Our expertise ensures a smooth, professional finish that stands the test of time.
