Tar & Chip Surfacing in Swanley, BR8
Tar and chip, also called surface dressing, is a cost-effective way to surface or refresh roads, lanes, car parks and long driveways. Hot bitumen is sprayed onto a prepared base, and stone chippings are spread and rolled in to give a hard-wearing, textured finish.

Tar and chip options
- Single or double surface dressing
- Over existing tarmac to seal and refresh it

Tar & Chip Surfacing in Swanley: FAQs
Can you tar and chip a yard near Swanley?
Yes, for yards with lighter traffic. For heavy vehicles, we’d recommend a heavy-duty tarmac surface instead.
Is tar and chip the same as surface dressing?
Yes. Both terms describe spraying bitumen and rolling stone chippings into it.
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.
Do you cover Swanley and the surrounding area?
Yes. We work across Swanley and nearby areas including Hextable, Crockenhill, Swanley Village, Farningham. Surveys and quotes are free.
