Commercial Surfacing & Repairs
Unadopted & Shared Access Roads
A private road is not maintained by the council, so repairs fall to the people who own or use it. That might be a residents’ association, a managing agent, an estate or a few neighbours sharing a lane. We work with whoever holds the budget and keep residents informed while the work is under way.
Before pricing, we walk the road with you to look at the surface, the base, the edges and where the water goes. The written quote sets out the options clearly, so it can be circulated to everyone who contributes.

Our Experience with Private Roads
We are a family run groundworks business based in Staplehurst, and we bring over 20 years of experience to every private roads job across Kent, East and West Sussex and south-east London.
The same small, friendly team surveys the job, prepares the ground and finishes the surface, so you deal with the people doing the work from the first visit to the final sweep.
We have worked on behalf of Kent County Council and utility companies, our team is registered with the Street Works Qualifications Register, and we are approved under the Trading Standards Buy With Confidence scheme.

Private Roads
Resurfacing, Drainage & Kerbs
Under most failing private roads there is a drainage problem. We set falls to gullies, channels or soakaways, clear or renew drains that have failed, and fit kerbs or edgings to stop the edges breaking away.
The surface can be new tarmac, a tar and chip dressing, or a repair programme for a road that still has life left in it.

Keeping Access Open for Residents
People still need to get to and from their homes. We work in sections where the layout allows, agree any short closures in advance and give notice of when each driveway entrance will be affected.
