Newcastle-upon-Tyne 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 Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

How Is Our Newcastle-upon-Tyne Tar & Chip Made?

Tar & chip surfaces are created in Newcastle-upon-Tyne 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 Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

The Advantages Of Using Tar & Chip for Newcastle-upon-Tyne Roads

The rough surface of tar and chip means it’s excellent at providing grip when the roads in Newcastle-upon-Tyne 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 Newcastle-upon-Tyne tar & chip surface that is exceptionally low maintenance.
