Good paving starts with the condition of the underlying layers, drainage and intended use, not just the final surface. We review internal roads, parking, pavements and paths with their preparation, backfill, paving and finishing requirements.
What does paving work include?
Separate existing-surface removal, layer preparation, kerbs, pavements, asphalt and road markings as required. Define disposal, interfaces with buildings and utility chambers, and reinstatement limits.
Levels and drainage
Review surface falls, drains and entrances before final layers, especially at parking areas and access points. Layer specifications, thicknesses and tests follow the project design and use conditions.
How can paving quotes be compared?
Area alone is insufficient. State the existing base condition, removal and replacement scope, final material, edge works and tests; this explains cost differences between sites.
Prepare these details for a quote
- Site plan, areas and vehicle traffic type.
- Photos of the ground or existing paving.
- Levels, drainage drawings and specifications if available.
Can a new layer be laid over existing paving?
It depends on paving and base condition, levels and drainage. A site assessment is required before choosing an overlay instead of removal or repair.
