Houghton-le-Spring Tar & Chip

What Is Tar & Chip?

Tar and chip (also known as chip & seal, or seal chip) is an excellent economical choice for resurfacing a road surface in Houghton-le-Spring.

How Is Our Houghton-le-Spring Tar & Chip Made?

Tar & chip surfaces are created in Houghton-le-Spring by applying a resin to the designated surface, then applying an aggregate made up of hundreds of stones, including granite and natural gravel. In some cases, tar & chip can be laid over existing surfaces such as concrete or tarmac, enabling its installation to be faster and cheaper than other methods available in Houghton-le-Spring.

The Advantages Of Using Tar & Chip for Houghton-le-Spring Roads

The rough surface of tar and chip means it’s excellent at providing grip when the roads in Houghton-le-Spring are wet or snow-covered. It’s also more durable than a traditional gravel finish.

But, should any cracks appear, the nature of the resin allows it to self-heal. This leaves you with a long lasting Houghton-le-Spring tar & chip surface that is exceptionally low maintenance.
