Local tar and chip surfacing in Sevenoaks
Sevenoaks has independent schools, private estates and long private roads, many on sloping ground along the Greensand Ridge where drainage needs careful planning.
Sevenoaks is well suited to tar and chip. Long private roads, estate drives and lanes around Sevenoaks, Seal and Otford suit its natural look, and it gives good grip on the Greensand Ridge slopes.
Public roads in Sevenoaks are maintained by Kent County Council, so any work affecting the highway, such as a new dropped kerb or vehicle crossing, needs their approval. We’ll tell you if that applies.

Tar & Chip Surfacing in Sevenoaks: FAQs
Will tar and chip cope with a steep private road near Sevenoaks?
Yes. The textured finish gives good grip on slopes. On very steep sections, we may recommend a tarmac base with a double dressing.
Is tar and chip the same as surface dressing?
Yes. Both terms describe spraying bitumen and rolling stone chippings into it.
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 Sevenoaks and the surrounding area?
Yes. We work across Sevenoaks and nearby areas including Riverhead, Dunton Green, Otford, Kemsing. Surveys and quotes are free.
