Newcastle Tar & Chip Surface Dressing
What Is Tar & Chip?
Tar and chip (also known as chip & seal, seal chip or surface dressing) is an excellent economical choice for resurfacing a road surface in Newcastle.
How Is Our Newcastle Tar & Chip Made?
Tar & chip surfaces are created in Newcastle 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.
The Advantages Of Using Surface Dressing for Newcastle Roads
The rough surface of tar and chip means it’s excellent at providing grip when the roads in Newcastle are wet or snow-covered. It’s also more durable than a traditional gravel finish.
But, should any cracks appear, the nature of the tar allows it to self-heal. This leaves you with a long lasting road surface that is exceptionally low maintenance.
