Upcoming road works

Surface dressing is a simple and cost-effective method of repairing road surfaces which lasts up to 10 years.

The procedure restores skidding resistance and seals the road surface to prevent water ingress.

Duration of works

Each site will be treated in a single day, subject to any bad weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.

Actual dates of attendance will be informed using warning signs installed in the road prior to our arrival.

What you need to do if you live in the affected area

We kindly ask that during this time vehicles are parked on driveways, garages or on other streets unaffected, but off the carriegeway.

Warning for cyclists

We also ask cyclists to be extra cautious after works are complete. Chippings may gather in cycling lanes and the sides of the road as the final stage of compacting the chippings into the surface is completed by vehicles using the road.

This is when we plane off the existing layer (or layers) of the carriageway. It can be just the surface course or the binder and base course layers, and then resurface.

This is a process used as a thin layer surface course - the same as surface dressing.

We prepare the existing surface with minor patching and then a coarse aggregate mixed with a bitumen binder is machine laid over the existing surface. This sets with a few hours.

Patching is removal of isolated areas on the carriageway and replaced with new materials.
