Surface dressing is also known as “Tar and Chip” and is a very cost-effective way to rejuvenate old tarmac or concrete. The process involves applying liquid bitumen using a hot spray to the existing surface and then dressing it with stone. Modern bitumen formulations contain various polymers or strengthening agents, that greatly increase the longevity and durability of the finished product.

Surface Dressing in Godalming FAQs

What is Surface Dressing in Godalming?

Surface dressing is a road maintenance technique involving the application of a bituminous binder followed by the placement of stone chippings on the road surface. It is designed to restore road texture, provide protection, and enhance skid resistance.

Surface dressing is commonly performed during warmer months when the weather allows for proper binder curing and chipping adhesion. It is often used as a preventative measure to maintain road quality and can be part of regular maintenance schedules.

Surface dressing is applied through a multi-step process. First, a bituminous binder is sprayed onto the road surface, acting as an adhesive. Next, stone chippings are evenly spread over the binder to embed and provide texture. Excess chippings are removed, and the surface is rolled to ensure compaction.

Surface dressing is employed to extend the life of road surfaces by sealing and protecting them from weathering, preventing water ingress, and reducing the risk of cracks and potholes. It also improves road safety by enhancing grip for vehicles.

Surface dressing offers several advantages, including cost-effectiveness compared to full resurfacing, improved skid resistance and road safety, prevention of surface water infiltration, enhancement of road aesthetics, and minimisation of road noise.
