Tarmac surfacing in Hampshire

A Hampshire driveway may carry cars most days but still need to accommodate a delivery lorry, horsebox or service vehicle. We ask about those occasional loads before deciding on the construction. Designing only for the vehicles parked there during a survey can miss the movement that causes the greatest stress.

Design for the occasional heavy vehicle

For a property near Winchester, Alton, Petersfield or Ringwood, explain how vehicles enter, turn and leave. A turning head can need different consideration from a straight approach. Standing loads and repeated steering in a small space also influence the discussion. We set out the intended use so the scope can be compared fairly with other quotations.

We check the support and drainage, then consider whether the job can retain stable existing sections. If a new extension joins an old drive, we agree the transition and prepare it accordingly. Phasing, access for residents and any deliveries during the work are discussed before a start date. The finished area should work with the property, including its busiest day.

Planning work in Hampshire

Hampshire's character assessment separates downland, river valleys, heath and coastal landscapes. Those are useful reasons to investigate a site, not substitutes for testing its ground. From our Horsham base we arrange the survey and agree how deliveries will reach the work area. A Hampshire postcode alone cannot establish the depth, drainage arrangement or plant access needed for your job.

What the tarmac quotation sets out

We measure the work, inspect the supporting construction and agree the intended traffic. The specification sets out preparation, levels, edges and drainage before the asphalt layers. Access during laying and instructions for reopening are discussed for the actual job. A retained base, a repaired section and a full reconstruction should be distinguishable in the scope.
