Car parks, estate roads, footpaths, yards and school grounds for management companies, businesses, schools and parishes. Paul Delaney visits the site and quotes in writing, and his own crew lays the tarmac by machine.






A car park or estate road takes far more traffic than a driveway: more vehicles, heavier loads, constant turning and more water to shed. Delaney uses the same method as on every surface it lays, sized up for the load: a sub-base matched to the ground, then a binder course and an SMA wearing course, machine-laid and rolled.
Paul Delaney has 45 years in the trade. He visits the site himself and the quote states what is being done to each area, so a board, an owner or a principal can compare it line by line.

Paul plans the visit and the quote around who signs the job off and how the site is used.

| Option | When it suits | What it involves |
|---|---|---|
| Repair | Sound surface with isolated potholes or cracks | Saw-cut, clean, bond coat, hot tarmac rolled flush |
| Resurface | Worn, cracked surface on a base that still holds | Plane off or overlay, new wearing course, ironwork raised |
| Rebuild | Soft or failed base, water lying, repeated potholes | Dig out, new sub-base, binder and wearing courses |
Where more than one option would work, the quote prices each so the decision is made on cost and lifespan.
Paul walks the site, checks the surface, edges and drainage, and asks how it is used through the day.
Area, depth of dig, layers, kerbs and drainage stated, so it compares with any other quote.
Which section is done first, where vehicles go meanwhile, how deliveries and residents get in.
Done section by section around residents, trading hours, term or services.
Ironwork set level, edges trimmed, site swept, then a walk round with whoever signs the job off.



Residential jobs, laid by the same crew with the same machine-laid method, sub-base and kerbing.
