About Our Tar and Chip Services in Cambridgeshire

Why has tar and chip become so popular in Cambridgeshire? The pristine results are to blame! A tar and chip results in a natural-looking finish, which appeals to a wide range of properties. Whether you are living or working in a period or modern property, a tar and chip driveway will perfectly accentuate all that it has to offer. Tar and chip is also very hard-wearing and provides great traction. This makes it ideal for areas that see a lot of daily heavy use – such as driveways and loading areas. Additionally, tar and chip is also weatherproof and can stand up to extreme heat and cold weather with ease. Best of all? It’s one of the most affordable materials out there, making it a viable option for property owners with all kinds of budgets.

Why Choose KDG Surfacing?

Our years of experience have made us the tar and chip experts Cambridgeshire customers know that they can count on, time and time again. We mainly install driveways, but we are happy to talk through any potential job with customers. After all, we pride ourselves on our open-minded, creative approach to your work. How is the work carried out? We start with laying the materials over a concrete or tarmac base. We then apply a tar and chip finish over this base, press-rolling this onto a bitumen tar surface to ensure a smooth finish. This results in a uniform look and is a great alternative for those who do not want to opt for tarmac or block paving.

We also provide surface dressing in Cambridgeshire, which adds another degree of popularity to our services. We carry this out by laying down a hot layer of binder, before covering it with the aggregate of your choice. Different kinds of aggregate are available to our customers, and we will be happy to advise you on which one is most suitable for your property. Surface dressing is perfect for driveways that need a number of repairs and has the added bonus of being able to be applied over tar and chip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the frequently asked questions we often receive from our customers. We’ve provided clear answers to help you better understand our surfacing materials, installation processes, and how to maintain a long-lasting finish.

Clay soils can hold water and swell or shrink seasonally, which may lead to movement beneath the surface. For a tar-and-chip driveway in Cambridgeshire, we ensure the sub-base is well-drained, compacted and stable before laying the stone and bitumen layers so the finish remains even and durable.

Yes, we can select aggregate colours and chip sizes that blend with the local countryside look (e.g., muted tones, natural stone finishes) so that the driveway suits Cambridgeshire rural properties while still offering the cost-effectiveness of tar-and-chip.

It can be a solid choice for longer driveways, because the material offers good traction and reasonable cost. However, we must ensure the base is designed to carry the extended length (fall, drainage, expansion) so that the surface remains stable over the full drive in Cambridgeshire conditions.
