Surfacing
Yards, car parks, loading areas and industrial hardstanding built for real weight.
Commercial surfacing is a different job from domestic work, and the difference is almost entirely underneath. A car park takes cars. A loading yard takes fully laden artics turning on the spot, and turning is what tears a surface apart. We build to the traffic rather than to a standard depth.
New construction and resurfacing, including the falls, the drainage and the bay markings. Getting the falls right matters more than most people expect, because a car park that ponds is a car park that fails early and gets complained about all winter.
Heavy-duty build-ups for sites where loaded vehicles turn, brake and stand. Where vehicles consistently stand in one place, we specify for that rather than pretending it is the same as the rest of the yard.
Storage areas, plant standings and access routes around working buildings, built to carry what is actually going to sit on them.
Most commercial jobs cannot stop trading while we are there. We phase the work in sections so deliveries keep coming and staff keep parking, and we agree that programme with you before anything comes off the lorry.
The single most common fault we see on a failing yard or car park is water with nowhere to go. Falls that are too shallow, gullies set too high, or a drainage system that was adequate before the site was extended. We survey the drainage as part of the job, because laying a new surface over a water problem is a guaranteed return visit at your expense.

Common questions
Usually yes, if the yard is resurfaced in phases. We split the area so that one section is dug out and surfaced while the rest stays in use, and we keep vehicles and people apart in line with HSE site traffic guidance. What you cannot do is drive over fresh tarmac on the day it is laid or across an open dig out, so the phasing has to be agreed before we start.

Where the site needs it, yes. Early starts, weekends and phased sections are all normal on commercial work. It is worth raising at the quoting stage because it affects the programme and the price.
Yes, and it is worth doing at the same time. Marking a fresh surface as part of the same job is cheaper and tidier than bringing someone back separately once you have reopened.
Often, yes. Where the failure is confined to a turning or standing area we can reconstruct that section to a heavier specification and leave the rest, which is a great deal cheaper than doing the whole yard.
