Tar & Chip Surface Dressing in Bristol

Tar and chip, also known as surface dressing, is a practical resurfacing method that combines a bitumen binder with stone aggregate to create a textured, hard-wearing surface. It can be particularly suitable for private roads, larger driveways, access routes, estates and commercial areas.

Where the existing base is still in suitable condition, surface dressing can improve grip, appearance and durability without the need for complete reconstruction. Where repairs are needed first, these can be dealt with before the new surface is applied.
