Tar & Chip Surfacing Across the South East
Professional tar and chip surfacing for driveways, private roads, country property entrances, estate access and larger surfaced areas across Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Kent, West Sussex, East Sussex and London.
Professional Tar & Chip Surfacing
Tar and chip combines a bituminous binder with selected stone aggregate to create a durable, textured surface with a more natural appearance than conventional black tarmac.
It is particularly popular for longer driveways, country properties, private roads, estate entrances and larger access areas where the appearance of natural stone is preferred.
TAR Surfacing Ltd provides tar and chip surfacing across the South East, with free site surveys available to assess the existing base, drainage, traffic requirements and overall suitability of the site.
The underlying construction is important. Tar and chip works best where there is a suitable stable surface beneath, so we assess each project before recommending the appropriate preparation.
Natural-looking surfacing for larger residential driveways and entrances.
Durable treatment for suitable private roads, lanes and access routes.
Traditional-looking surfacing for country properties and estate access.
Practical surfacing for suitable larger entrances and parking areas.
How Tar & Chip Surfacing Works
The condition of the existing surface is assessed first so that the correct preparation can be carried out before the new finish is applied.
Prepare the Surface
The existing area is assessed and prepared to provide a stable, suitable base for the new tar and chip finish.
Apply the Binder
A bituminous binder is evenly applied to the prepared surface to create the bonding layer.
Apply the Stone
Selected aggregate is spread and rolled into the binder to create the distinctive textured tar and chip surface.
Why Choose Tar & Chip?
Tar and chip is particularly attractive where a natural-looking surface, good grip and practical coverage of a larger area are priorities.
Tar & Chip for Rural & Larger Properties
Tar and chip is especially well suited to properties where a standard smooth black tarmac finish may look too urban or uniform.
Long entrances, country houses, private lanes and estate-style driveways can benefit from the natural appearance provided by exposed stone aggregate while still creating a practical vehicle surface.
We assess the base, drainage and expected vehicle use before confirming whether tar and chip is appropriate for the project.
Tar & Chip or Tarmac?
Both can provide durable vehicle surfaces, but the appearance and type of project often determine which option is more appropriate.
Smooth & Uniform
Tarmac provides a smooth, consistent dark surface and is commonly chosen for residential driveways, parking areas and commercial surfacing where a clean uniform finish is preferred.
Natural & Textured
Tar and chip uses natural stone aggregate to create a textured appearance that is particularly attractive on longer driveways, country properties, estate entrances and private roads.
