As a local authority, commercial premises manager or business owner, you know more than the average Joe about surfacing. You know how much hard work goes into the planning, logistics and maintenance. You know how there’s a story of teamwork and dedication behind every successful road surfacing project.
At Midlands Road Surfacing, we know how these stories pave the path for success. But first, you need the right surfacing contractor. How can you tell who you should work with?
This blog explains how we help you pick the right surfacing contractor for your needs, and why we make that choice easy.
What evidence should you look for before engaging an asphalt contractor?
Before committing to any contractor for asphalt surfacing on commercial sites, you should verify their credentials. That includes certifications, licences, experience, expertise and project history.
We at Midlands Road Surfacing have over three decades of industry experience. That means you can trust our asphalt-surfacing services, which include road planing, dropped kerbs, pavements and full-scale surface renewal.
And if, at this stage, a potential contractor can’t show you evidence of completed projects, references, or reviews – especially in the context of similar commercial settings – treat that as a red flag.
Midlands Road Surfacing has hundreds of happy customers. We’ll provide you with case studies and references across the commercial sector. You’re welcome to check them out, so you can see what kinds of things we can help you with.
Look for what a surfacing contractor can deliver
As a commercial facility manager or operations director for a local authority, you need three assured outcomes:
- Correct specification
- Timely delivery
- Minimal business or residential disruption
At Midlands Road Surfacing, we start each contract with a comprehensive site survey and a detailed method statement. We’ll clarify how our plan will work, considering things like your site’s traffic flows, drainage, health and safety, local residents and the many other concerns you have to take into account. We’ll also explain your asphalt thickness and sub-base options, so you can understand the benefits (and the costs) associated with each.
In terms of timeline, we set clear milestones for planing an existing surface, applying the new asphalt layer and limiting, maintaining and reinstating access. You receive a single point of contact who manages day-to-day site logistics, so you don’t have to deal with handovers between multiple contractors. A focus on communication helps us build a good working relationship, and keeping each other up to date ensures maximum collaboration.
Because we specialise in commercial operations, we have everything we need to get the job done, no matter the project. Our machinery, labour and project management systems are ready for large-area car parks, estate roads and service yards. No matter what you need, we can help.
What value does a trusted surfacing contractor bring?
It can be tempting to opt for the lowest bidder. Sure, sometimes it’s the real deal. However, you may encounter issues with the finished quality, ongoing delays and higher maintenance costs.
While there’s nothing wrong with low prices, the secret lies in vetting what the contractor can deliver at that rate.
Midlands Road Surfacing works with you. Our aim isn’t just to deliver a surface; it’s to deliver your surface. We want to help you create a high-quality, long-term asset that offers performance and minimises whole-life cost.
When you engage us, you get transparent pricing and a long-lasting ROI. That means fewer surprises at the final account stage and fewer conflicts when we hand the site back over to you. Instead, you get true value for money and a new, low-maintenance surface that keeps your customers, visitors and employees happy for years to come.
