Project Overview:
Our team recently carried out a complete tarmac resurfacing project for a long residential lane in Lenham, Maidstone. The existing surface had become worn, uneven, and patchy over time, making it difficult for vehicles to pass safely. The goal of this project was to restore the lane to a smooth, durable, and professional finish using high-quality materials and precision machinery.
Project Details
Location: Lenham
Materials: Tarmac
Process:
Initial Inspection & Preparation: We began with a full inspection of the lane to assess its condition. The existing surface was cleaned, and all weak or damaged areas were cut out and repaired to ensure a stable foundation.
Surface Planing & Levelling: The old tarmac surface was planed where required to remove high spots and create a consistent level throughout the lane.
Application of Tack Coat: A tack coat was applied to improve adhesion between the existing base and the new tarmac layer, ensuring long-lasting bonding and a smooth finish.
Machine-Laid Tarmac: Using specialist machinery, a fresh layer of hot-lay tarmac was applied evenly across the full length of the lane.
Power Rolling & Compaction: The new surface was power roll finished using heavy-duty rollers, creating a tight, even, and durable surface ideal for frequent residential and light commercial traffic.
Edge Work & Finishing Touches: The lane edges were neatly finished, and any adjoining areas were blended seamlessly to provide a professional look and prevent water ingress.
Client Feedback:
The completed lane now boasts a smooth, level, and durable tarmac surface that greatly improves both appearance and functionality. Residents can now enjoy a quieter, safer drive with a surface built to last through years of use and weather conditions.
