Cost-effective road surfacing for private roads, driveways, estates and access routes.

Tar and chip surface dressing London is one of the most practical and cost-effective road surfacing solutions for private roads, estate roads, long driveways, access routes and larger outdoor surfaces. Raubex provides professional surface dressing in London for residential, commercial and private clients who need a durable surface without always choosing full tarmac installation.

Also known as chip seal, tar and chip surfacing uses a bitumen binder and stone chippings to form a textured surface with strong grip and a natural appearance. It is widely used for private road surfacing, driveway surface dressing, estate roads, access lanes and cost-effective road surfacing projects.

This solution is especially useful where a larger surface area needs improvement and a traditional stone finish is preferred. It can offer a practical balance between cost, durability and appearance.

Our Surface Dressing Process

A successful tar and chip surface starts with proper preparation and correct application.

Site Assessment

Surface Preparation

The existing surface is prepared so weak areas, loose material and unsuitable sections are addressed before application.

Binder & Chippings

A suitable binder is applied and stone chippings are spread to create the textured tar and chip finish.

Compacted Finish

The surface is compacted to create a practical finish for vehicle access and everyday use.
