Introduction
In late April 2026, Edwards Surfacing completed two projects that highlight our experience across both commercial and residential surfacing. The first was resurfacing works at Premier Inn Brampton for Warren Contracting Services Ltd. The second was a driveway resurfacing for private client in Weston Turville. Below is a straightforward overview of the works, how we delivered them, and the end results.
Project 1: Premier Inn, Brampton (Warren Contracting Services Ltd)
Project context:
Warren Contracting Services Ltd engaged Edwards Surfacing to resurface part of the Premier Inn Brampton site at the Brampton Service Area. The aim was to renew a worn surface and provide a safe, smooth finish for vehicles and pedestrians.
Scope of works & materials:
The works were completed over two days (28–29 April 2026) and covered approximately 280m². Day 1 focused on preparation: planing out the existing surface, cleaning down, and applying a K1-40 tack coat to ensure a strong bond. Regulating was carried out where needed using AC10 asphalt, with additional binder material used to strengthen low or uneven areas.
On Day 2 we installed the new surface course: AC20 close-graded asphalt laid to around 30mm. The new layer was laid and compacted to achieve a durable, level finish suitable for a busy site environment.
Challenges & delivery:
Working at an active service-area location required careful planning to keep disruption to a minimum. The job was programmed and phased to maintain safe access and allow the team to complete preparation and surfacing efficiently over the two days.
Quality & safety:
The team worked to a safe system of work, using appropriate PPE and controls for plant, vehicle movements and hot materials. Quality checks focused on clean preparation, consistent layer thickness, good compaction and tidy tie-ins to surrounding surfaces.
Outcome:
The Brampton works delivered a smooth, even asphalt surface that restored the area and improved safety and appearance. The finished surface is designed to stand up to regular traffic and supports the ongoing operation of the site.
Project 2: Driveway Resurfacing in Weston Turville (Lew Ayres)
Project context:
This project was a driveway resurfacing for private client Lew Ayres in Weston Turville, Buckinghamshire. The existing surface had deteriorated and the brief was to provide a neat, long-lasting finish and improve day-to-day use.
Scope of works & materials:
The works were completed in one day (29 April 2026). We planed out the existing surface to around 30mm, cleaned down, applied a K140 tack coat, and then laid a new 30mm surface course.
The new finish was a 6mm Viadrive stone mastic asphalt (SMA) surface course, chosen for its smooth appearance and durability on driveways. The surface was laid and compacted to a consistent finish with neat edges and clean tie-ins.
Challenges & delivery:
Domestic works often involve tighter access and the need to keep disruption low. By planning deliveries, sequencing the works carefully and keeping the site tidy, we completed the resurfacing efficiently within the day.
Quality & safety:
The team worked safely with the right PPE and controls for plant and hot materials. Quality checks included clean preparation, correct tack coat application, good compaction and a smooth, even finish that sheds water appropriately.
Outcome:
The driveway was transformed with a fresh, smooth tarmac surface that improves appearance, usability and longevity. The finished result provides a hard-wearing surface and an immediate uplift to the property entrance.
