Tar and chip Installers in Newmarket

As your trusted local installers for tar and chip Newmarket we are always happy to share as much helpful information as possible to ensure you choose the right driveway finish for your functional demands and budget. For full disclosure a resin driveway or footpath will make a more durable option however they are also much more expensive. Especially for large surfaces a resin driveway can quickly exceed a budget which is why tar and chip offers a superb alternative. Long driveways and footpaths are rarely seen in resin and will in fact be tar and chip this purely down to being so cost effective. Below are a few key points that are worth mentioning regarding some positives to a tar and chip driveway or footpath.

• Low-Maintenance – A tar and chip surface requires little to no maintenance and is in fact very cheap and simple to repair should it show signs of wear. This type of surface finish will also not need to be sealed regularly unlike most block paving systems. It almost has its own self healing properties, often small cracks can become unseen as the tar warms in the hot weather.
• Traction – The rugged surface of this type of driveway drastically improves traction for both vehicles and foot traffic. It also makes it a very friendly surface in wet and icy conditions. This makes it particularly popular for large footpaths in public grounds. Block paving if not maintained can form algae and become very slippery in wet/icy conditions.
• Longevity – Surface dressing (tar and chip)to driveways and footpaths typically has a good lifespan of around 7-10 years. This may not be as long as a resin drive or block paving, however considering the cost offers incredible value and with very little maintenance can look fantastic beyond 10 years.
