We tend to get the two substances frequently mixed up as they initially look similar, but when you peer closer, tarmacadam surfacing and asphalt are quite distinctive. If you’re unsure which product will best suit your project, call our surfacing contractors at Surex Surfacing Ltd. Located in Leatherhead, we offer professional tarmacadam road surfacing services to domestic and commercial clients in Weybridge and the surrounding areas.

A mixture of crushed stone, sand and tar, tarmacadam is widely used for road surfacing. Once the constituents have been thoroughly combined, a steamroller spreads the result evenly over a prepared sub-base.
This is a more modern version of tarmacadam, with the tar replaced by the petroleum by-product, bitumen. The mixture is quite similar but is regarded as a more hardwearing substance for road surfacing with smaller aggregates used.
Tarmacadam is long-lasting and extremely durable, having been used on roads throughout the UK for over a century. With more and more heavy goods vehicles travelling the length and breadth of the country, it’s essential we have sufficient strength in our motorways and national and regional roads. Tarmacadam can easily offer this and is not prone to cracking or developing potholes.
It's also extremely tough, withstanding a variety of harsh weather conditions.
Our professional surfacing contractors at Surex Surfacing can lay tarmacadam on driveways, pavements and roads for clients throughout the South East, including Weybridge and the surrounding areas. The substance is installed quickly; we’ve been carrying out this service for over 20 years.
