We have a number of different tar and chip solutions for a range of different size jobs from a small driveway to the full scale resurfacing of public highways. We are able to provide a variety of different sizes and colour of stone chips to suit your personal or environmental requirements.

For larger jobs we are now using the latest Secmair state of the art computer controlled tar and chip feeders. The one pass surface dressing system allows the chips to be fed onto the hot tar binder within 1 second of its application. This means the binders (tar) has had virtually no time to lose any of its heat and will greatly increase the bond of the tar to the existing surface and the new stone chip.  This system also greatly reduces any chances of bare patches on high spots on the existing surface due to the fast application of the stone chip after the binder course is laid. 

This computer controlled system uses Lookrax software and can read the quality of the road surface before the new tar and chip surface is applied. This system can apply the new surface as a patch, part width of the road or a full blanket width up to 3.10m wide.

Coppard supplies a full range of quality assured Tarmac materials and is able to lay all different Tarmacadum surfaces.

We are prepared and equipped to undertake a full range of different Tarmacing jobs from the small patching  job or new driveway that would require hand  laying the tarmac to the full scale reconstruction of a public highway using the latest telescreed machinery . We are qualified to lay stone mastic asphalt thin lay (SMA)

Our range of paving machines will allow us machine lay tarmac from footpath width from 1.2m up to a massive 4.75m wide. These machines are operated by qualified and highly experienced operatives so to give you the best possible quality of workmanship.

Tarmacadum surfaces can be laid to suit your own requirements but are typically made up of either 1,2 or 3 layers (Surface Course, Binder Course, Base). We can construct the Surface course as either a open or closed graded Surface course, an open graded Surface course will greatly improve the ability of the road to drain the rainwater away and reduce spray from vehicles. Another benefit of open graded tarmac is its noise reducing properties and improved wet skid resistance.  

We can provide you with a free no obligation quote for your surfacing needs whether it is a driveway, car park, access road or public highway.
