What is Surface Dressing?

Surface dressing is the process of sealing the upper layer of a road to preserve its condition and prevent issues like potholes. A cheaper, more convenient alternative to a full road replacement, surface dressing helps to increase the lifespan of roads.

The process involves applying a layer of hot bitumen and chippings (aggregate) onto the surface of an existing road. These materials combine to provide a durable seal across the road surface that prevents water from seeping in.

By preventing water from penetrating the road, the surface dressing increases its resistance to frost and water damage.

When applied correctly, surface dressing significantly boosts the lifespan of roads, car parks, and driveways.

Surface Dressing v Road Resurfacing

Surface dressing and road resurfacing are two common forms of road maintenance. While similar, there are some differences between surface dressing and road resurfacing.

For example, surface dressing is typically for roads that are in reasonable condition, while road resurfacing is necessary for roads with more extensive damage.

Surface dressing requires less intensive work than road resurfacing, which typically requires the removal of existing surfaces. As a result, surface dressing is usually quicker and more affordable than road resurfacing, although less effective on roads with moderate damage.

How Long Does Surface Dressing Last?

Our certified groundworks experts have a wealth of experience installing surface dressing on roads, pathways, and car parks. We have a fleet of modern plant machinery to help produce first-class surface dressings, ensuring long-lasting results for clients.

In most instances, our surface dressing lasts up to ten years. We can also apply additional surface dressings several times before resurfacing is necessary.

Simply put, our surface dressing service offers exceptional value for money, being a low-cost alternative to road resurfacing.
