Micro asphalt and Slurry surfacing

Slurry seal is a relatively cheap material consisting of a bitumen emulsion and aggregate slurry, which is laid cold by a paving machine following the existing shape of the road or footway surface. It seals the surface and improves skid resistance and has very good stress absorbing characteristics. It will normally last between 5 and 10 years.

Micro-asphalt Surfacing is a multi layer version of Slurry Seal and can restore a desirable profile, improving ride quality. It is typically undertaken on busy urban thoroughfares, housing estates, roundabouts and motorway hard shoulders. The finished surface has low noise characteristics, and good riding qualities. It is an efficient process that allows us to reduce time spent on site and minimise disruption.
