With more than 25 years of industry experience, our team works with homeowners, businesses, landowners, contractors and commercial clients, providing practical resurfacing solutions for everything from private driveways to larger roads and access areas.

Reading is a busy and varied area, with a mix of residential streets, larger suburban properties, business parks, commercial estates and important road links connecting the town with the wider Thames Valley. We regularly work on surfacing projects where durability, drainage, access and traffic levels all need to be considered carefully before the right solution is chosen.

Reading Road Surface Dressing Experts

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

Where the existing surface is structurally suitable, surface dressing can help improve grip, appearance and durability without the need for complete reconstruction. If repairs are required first, damaged areas can be prepared and repaired before the new surface is applied.

We provide surfacing services throughout Reading and surrounding Berkshire areas, including Caversham, Tilehurst, Earley, Woodley, Winnersh, Wokingham, Theale, Pangbourne and nearby villages.

We also work on routes and properties around the wider Reading area, including sites close to major local connections such as the A4, A33, A329 and M4 corridor, where reliable access and hard-wearing surfacing are especially important for commercial and higher-traffic areas.

Whether you need to resurface a worn driveway, improve a private road, restore an access route or upgrade a larger commercial surface, HTS Surfacing can assess the site and provide a clear quotation for the work required.

As well as tar and chip surface dressing, we also undertake tarmac resurfacing, road surfacing, pothole repairs and commercial surfacing throughout Reading and Berkshire.

Tar & Chip Surface Dressing for Reading Properties

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 finish. It can be particularly suitable for larger driveways, private roads, estate roads, access routes and commercial surfaces.

Where the existing surface is structurally suitable, surface dressing can improve grip, appearance and durability without the need for complete reconstruction. If there are potholes, cracks or worn areas, preparation and repairs can be carried out first before the new surface is applied.

Tarmac Driveways & Resurfacing in Reading

Tarmac remains a popular choice for driveways, roads and commercial areas because it is durable, practical and suitable for regular vehicle use. A properly prepared base, good drainage and correct compaction are all important in creating a surface that performs well over time.

We undertake both new installations and resurfacing work throughout Reading and surrounding areas. Where the existing base remains suitable, resurfacing may be possible without completely rebuilding the area.
