Blackwell Surfacing

Expert Tar And Chip Surfacing Across the North West

Tar and chip, also known as surface dressing, is a practical and cost-effective surfacing solution that delivers excellent performance in both rural and commercial environments.

At Blackwell Surfacing, we provide high-quality tar and chip installations across Greater Manchester and surrounding counties, working in nearby towns such as Stockport, Wilmslow, Liverpool, Trafford Park, Runcorn and Crewe.

This method involves applying a hot bitumen binder followed by a layer of stone chippings, which are rolled into place to create a hard-wearing, weather-resistant finish. Tar and chip is particularly suitable for farm roads, holiday parks, long driveways and private estates, offering an affordable alternative to full resurfacing while maintaining strength, durability and visual appeal.
