Road surface dressing

Surface dressing is preventative work to significantly extend a road's life. It costs significantly less than full resurfacing and means that more money is available to invest in resurfacing where it is most needed.

Surface dressing seals the surface of the road, to prevent water seeping in. This helps the deterioration of the road surface and means that the road surface texture will have adequate grip and skid resistance.
