About our road planing & site preparation services

Road planing involves removing the top layer of a road’s surface. Once we’ve cleared it and disposed of the rubble, we’ll lay new material on the existing sub-base and sub-layers. This process is far greener and more affordable than digging up an old road and restarting from scratch.

Our approach to road planing and site preparation involves combining our knowledge base with cutting-edge technology, such as the planer itself. The result is an industry-leading, highly efficient process that brings about minimal environmental damage and ensures the most cost-effective solutions.

Our expert team with decades of experience will inform you when road planing is an appropriate solution. We work on everything from busy main roads to shopping centre car parks and more, ensuring everything we do comes with the highest quality, strictest tolerances and adaptability our customers have come to expect.

Frequently asked questions

Got a question about our road planing & site preparation solutions? Check out our FAQs below for more information. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please get in touch.

Road planing involves using a specialist machine to strip the top layer of a road or pavement. A new, fresh layer can then be replaced over the existing sub-layers.

Consider road planing when the surface falls into disrepair. Road planing is a much cheaper and greener solution than digging up the entire road.

It’s difficult to say because it depends on the surface area and material. However, our planer is state-of-the-art, meaning we’ll complete the job as quickly and economically as possible!

The most crucial piece of equipment in road planing is the planer. This heavy-duty machine planes a careful level of material away from the road. Trailers, tractors and/or trucks are also needed for pulling the planer and for waste disposal.

Road planing is appropriate for any asphalt surface. In other words, most public roads, pavements and car parks in the UK could be planed.

There’s no escaping the fact that road planing is loud. We always work as fast as possible during the day to minimise inconvenience for clients, customers, and neighbours.

The planer throws the debris it removes straight into a dump truck or trailer. An operator then drives this to the recycling centre or tip.

The main benefits of road planing are its cost-effectiveness and lesser environmental impact compared to a new road. In exchange, road users will appreciate the brand-new surface.

It depends on the road’s existing sub-base, new surface material and the types and frequencies of traffic. Once planed, most road surfaces last for at least 15 to 25 years before you might consider another re-planing project.

Research (or directly ask) contractors to learn about their experience, evidence of past quality, pricing structures, and how willingly they’ll accommodate your road visions.
