Tar & Chip Surfacing in Sevenoaks, TN13

If you like the natural look of gravel but not the ruts, scattered stones and weeds, tar and chip is a great alternative for your drive in Sevenoaks. The chippings are bonded in bitumen, giving a textured, grippy surface that blends in with older and rural properties.

We lay tar and chip on new or existing bases, with a choice of chipping colours to suit your house.

Tar and chip finishes

Tar and chip can be laid over an existing tarmac surface or onto a new compacted sub-base, as a single or double dressing. Chippings come in a range of colours, including golden, red, grey and buff. We’ll recommend the right specification for your driveway’s use and gradient.

Tar & Chip Surfacing in Sevenoaks: FAQs

Will tar and chip cope with the slope on my Sevenoaks drive?

Yes. The bonded chippings give a textured, grippy surface that copes well with gradients. On very steep sections we may recommend a tarmac base with a double dressing.

How long does tar and chip last?

A properly laid tar and chip surface can last 10 years or more, and it can be re-dressed to extend its life.

Will there be loose chippings?

Some loose chippings are normal for the first few weeks while the surface beds in. We sweep up the excess.

Can tar and chip go over my old tarmac?

Yes, if the existing tarmac is sound. It's a cost-effective way to refresh a tired drive.

Can I choose the colour of the chippings?

Yes. Golden, red, grey and buff chippings are all available.
