Tar & Chip Surfacing in Erith: FAQs
Is tar and chip strong enough for a yard in Erith?
For lighter traffic, yes. For HGVs and heavy turning, a heavy-duty tarmac surface is a better choice.
How long does tar and chip last?
A properly laid surface can last 10 years or more and can be re-dressed to extend its life.
Will there be loose chippings?
Some loose chippings are normal for the first few weeks while the surface beds in. We sweep up the excess.
Is it suitable for car parks?
It can be for quieter car parks, especially rural ones. Busy car parks with a lot of tight turning are usually better in tarmac.
Can it go over existing tarmac?
Yes, if the tarmac is structurally sound. It seals the surface and gives it a new finish.
Do you cover Erith and the surrounding area?
Yes. We work across Erith and nearby areas including Belvedere, Slade Green, Northumberland Heath, Barnehurst. Surveys and quotes are free.
