Tarmac & Surfacing — Frequently Asked Questions
What areas does Roy Beech cover for tarmac and surfacing?
We provide tarmac and surfacing across Staffordshire, Cheshire and the wider UK. Based in Stoke-on-Trent, we regularly work throughout the Midlands and Northwest for commercial, industrial and public sector clients.
What's the difference between tarmac and asphalt?
Both are bitumen-based surfacing materials. Asphalt uses a finer aggregate and gives a smoother, more durable finish suited to heavy-traffic roads and car parks, while tarmac is a cost-effective option for many commercial applications. We advise on the right specification for each project.
How long does it take to resurface a commercial car park?
Most commercial car park resurfacing projects are completed within a few days, depending on size, condition and drainage requirements. We plan works to minimise disruption and can phase larger sites to keep them partially operational.
Do you work for councils and principal contractors?
Yes. We work with local authorities, principal contractors, developers and consulting engineers, as well as private commercial clients. We handle projects from £2,000 to £1.5 million and work to full CDM and health and safety compliance.
What surfacing services do you provide?
We surface roads, car parks, forecourts, footpaths, industrial hardstandings and access roads. Services include tarmac and asphalt laying, resurfacing, reinstatement, line marking and associated drainage and groundworks.

Built on Strong Preparation & Practical Experience
Reliable Tarmac Surfacing Starts With Solid Groundwork.
Every durable surface begins below the surface. Our teams set accurate levels, stabilise the base layer and manage drainage correctly before tarmac is laid. This ensures every surface compacts properly, finishes cleanly and avoids future defects.
