FD Continental has more than 40 years' experience in all forms of road surfacing including surface dressing. Also known as tar and chip, surface dressing creates an attractive, hard-wearing surface, typically in 10mm or 14mm gravel - an alternative to the black finish of simply laying tarmac or asphalt and a great way to extend the life of worn surfaces as well as providing better grip for vehicles and pedestrians. Surface dressing is a long established, proven highway maintenance technique used to extend the life of worn surfaces which involves the even spray application of an emulsion bituminous binder through a purpose-built spray tanker onto the existing road surface. This is followed immediately by the even application of aggregate chippings to ‘dress' the binder. Tar and chip can also be used on private drives and driveways especially when the area to be surfaced is larger than the typical domestic driveway.
