Installation of play equipment and rubber play surfacing at Hammersmith School
Falcon Surfacing are specialists when it comes to installing rugged, impact safe, playground surfacing.
For this Hammersmith School, we installed all of the play equipment before resurfacing the area, followed by laying rubber play surfacing, painting the finished surface, and applying lining.
Falcon Surfacing have completed a road surfacing contract in Slough, Berkshire.
Included in the new asphalt surfacing plan were kerb-works and drainage works, road bridge surfacing, road junctions and white lining. The contract was completed on schedule and on budget.

How we Build a Replacement Private Road Surface with Resin Finish in Berkshire
Replacing a private road surface at a property in Berkshire requires careful planning, expert groundworks, and the right choice of materials. Resin-bound surfacing is a popular option for its durability, aesthetics, and compliance with drainage regulations. Below, we outline the process and explore alternative road surfacing options, including tarmac surfacing.
Step 1: Groundworks and Preparation
The first stage involves:
Excavation of the existing surface.
Installation of a MOT Type 1 aggregate sub-base, compacted for strength.
Underlying drainage works, such as soakaways, perforated pipes, or channel drains, to prevent water pooling and comply with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS).
Step 2: Applying the Resin Finish
Once the groundwork and drainage are complete, the resin-bound system is installed. This involves mixing natural aggregates with a UV-stable resin and laying it evenly over the prepared base. Resin-bound surfaces are:
Permeable, reducing surface water runoff.
Low-maintenance, resistant to weeds and cracking.
Aesthetically versatile, available in various colors and textures.
Alternative Private Road Surfacing Options
While resin-bound surfacing offers a modern, decorative solution, other options include:
Tarmac Surfacing: A traditional, cost-effective choice for private roads. Tarmac is durable and quick to install, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. However, it is not permeable, so additional drainage may be required.
Block Paving: Provides a classic look and excellent drainage but involves higher labor costs.
Gravel Surfacing: A natural option suitable for rural properties, though it requires regular maintenance.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right road surfacing method depends on aesthetics, drainage performance, and maintenance requirements. Resin-bound surfacing offers durability and visual appeal, while tarmac surfacing remains a reliable alternative for strength and affordability.
