Whether you are looking to create new roads, replace or repair existing roads, Ayres Tarmacadam is here for you. With the vast years of experience, we ensure private, domestic and commercial roads match the requirements of the users and expected vehicle use. Our professionals carry out every part of the job from the initial survey, plan, construction and surfacing of the road. Here’s a detailed overview of the services we offer in Oxford.

Private Road Surfacing

Over time, private roads such as carparks and footpaths wear out. The cracks appear on the surface dressing, which means the roads should be fixed by a surfacing professional. This way, the road becomes stronger and safer for pedestrians and drivers to use. Surface dressing involves the application of a coating of hot bitumen on the surface. It is then layered with stone chippings that are rolled on the bitumen to create a water-resistant layer. Road surface dressing is now a long established road maintenance technique for repairing private roads, domestic and commercial roads as it provides the following benefits:

• A waterproof seal to the surface of the footpath or carriageway
• Enhances skid resistance of the surface by creating texture and depth
• Avoid the penetration of water and damage to the underlying foundations
• Enhances the appearance of the footpath or carriageway using its naturally-coloured aggregates

This service extends to farm roads and foothpaths in country estates. While owning vast pieces of estate is admirable, it is important to create footpaths to make the properties accessible. Ayres Tarmacadam applies tarmac and tar overlays to roads that have deteriorated over the years. The professionals then dress the surfaces to ensure the materials sets on the road. We use asphalt and tarmac as they are hard-wearing. Also, we use apply tarmac on muddy footpaths through out foot path surfacing service. You just need to get in touch with one of our professionals to find out all your options.

Repairs

We repair potholes formed by water that seeps through cracks in the asphalt surface of the road. When the temperature drops, the water in the cracks freezes, causing the surface to rupture. Oxford experiences heavy downpours hence, the development of potholes on many roads. As the ice melts, it causes breakages below the surface that then collapse due to the weight of vehicles. Ayres Tarmacadam is here to repair such potholes regardless of their size. Potholes vary significantly from small patches to fretted joints, and our professionals are well-versed in fixing all such problems.
