Decorative stone chippings rolled hard into hot binder — a rugged, grippy, natural finish that's right at home on driveways, courtyards and country lanes.
A sprayed-bitumen, stone-dressed surface with a natural, gravelled look — hard-wearing, high-grip and right at home on rural drives.
A sound base, hot bitumen and the right chip — rolled in tight for a surface that holds together.
We level and consolidate the existing base ready to dress.
Weak areas are dug out and rebuilt with compacted Type 1.
A hot bitumen binder is sprayed evenly across the prepared base.
Stone chippings are spread over the binder and rolled in tight.
Setting the standard across Norfolk. We pair decades of inherited, hands-on site expertise with strict engineering standards — and we don't subcontract, cut corners on the sub-base, or disappear after handover. And because it's all delivered in-house, you get that standard at a cost-effective price.

A tar and chip surface typically lasts 10–15 years. It's hard-wearing and well suited to rural drives, longer lanes and access roads.
Usually, yes — especially over larger areas. It's a cost-effective way to surface a long driveway or access road with plenty of character.
A little surplus chip can lift in the first few weeks as it settles, which sweeps up easily. Once bedded into the binder, the stone stays locked in place.
A good range — granite, flint and buff among them — so you can match the finish to your property and its surroundings.
Yes. The textured surface gives excellent grip, which makes tar and chip a strong choice for sloped drives and rural access.
