Commercial surfacing packages.
Define the surface work your site needs, from preparation and retained-base checks to the finish, edges and drainage interfaces. We review the proposed use and specification before agreeing the package.
Structure First. Surface Second.
Choose the construction against the brief.
Asphalt, block paving and resin bound have different applications and supporting requirements. Surface selection follows a review of loading, existing construction, drainage and the supplied design.
Make the boundaries clear.
Identify who provides excavation, supporting layers, drainage, line marking and adjoining works. The quotation records the included work and the condition required before surfacing starts.
Plan access and handover.
Discuss deliveries, closures, pedestrian routes and any proposed phases. Programme commitments and reopening requirements are agreed for the specified work.
Define the package
A clear brief. An agreed scope.
Surface construction
Discuss tarmac, asphalt, block paving or resin bound against the intended use and existing base—not appearance alone.
Groundworks & drainage
Identify preparation, edge restraints and drainage interfaces, including responsibility for work outside the surfacing package.
Contractor enquiries
Send drawings and a specification for review. Clarifications, delivery requirements and any proposed alternatives are agreed before a quotation.
Before a proposal
The site requirements shape the package.
Structure First. Surface Second. Review loading, retained construction, water routes and interfaces with work by others before agreeing the surface. Dan will clarify what is included, who is responsible and which decisions remain outstanding.
- Existing construction, ground conditions and areas to retain
- Pedestrian use, vehicle loading and turning movements
- Levels, falls, drainage outlets and thresholds
- Site access, operating hours and work by others
- Drawings, tender deadlines and handover requirements
From scope to handover.
- 01

Handover
Record the agreed work and provide relevant aftercare guidance.
Project questions.
Can we discuss a main contractor or tender package?
Yes. Use Submit a Tender Enquiry to share the brief, deadline and supporting documents. The enquiry starts a scope review; it does not confirm acceptance of the package.
Can surfacing be planned around an occupied site?
Tell us which access routes and activities must continue. Phasing and any alternative routes need to be reviewed and agreed before a programme is committed.
What should we send with an enquiry?
Send the site location, intended use, approximate area, drawings or specification, and required dates. Identify work by others and any tender deadline so the review starts with a clear brief.
Is a date confirmed when we enquire?
No. Scope, access arrangements and the proposed programme need review before dates are agreed. Tell Dan about fixed deadlines at the outset.
A quotation against a defined scope.
Send the drawings, specification and programme available. We review preparation, surfacing, drainage interfaces, access and work by others, then identify the inclusions, exclusions and outstanding clarifications.
Ask Dan about relevant project experience and the information available for your proposed package.
Discuss your site with Dan.
