[...] Road has now been resurfaced. Is there any reason why they have to use loose chippings over tar? It isn’t the tidiest of [...]
The most expensive repair option is to plane up 3 inches of old surface and relay with Tarmac. Finish it off with chippings rolled into the surface
.
Spraying with tar seals the road against water ingress and frost damage, but the loose chippings are fatal to paintwork and windscreens! However this is a cheaper option than Tarmac.
Not wishing to be political, but during the last government I rarely saw the road sign “slow down loose chippings” which may explain the parlous state of our roads today.
Our road was treated with a two part water based mix (also used on pavements) which was simply brushed out and left to harden it gave a nice smooth surface (great for skate boards and not too slippy for cars) which was also waterproof and I am pleased to say we have not had any frost damage..
