Edwards Surfacing

Same corner of the playground, one summer apart.

The old concrete had done its years — cracked, worn and past saving. It came out in full: dig-out, new kerbs and drainage, then asphalt hand-laid in two courses around the buildings and canopies at a primary school near Swaffham, Norfolk.

The netball and tennis lines are down, and the courts are ready before the first bell of term.

These school courts in Ampthill, Bedfordshire were resurfaced over the summer break — the old courts taken up and machine-laid in 6mm VIAcourt sports macadam — and the markings went down this week, applied by the specialists at F1 Lining Ltd.

If your school's courts or play areas could do with the same, we're happy to take a look. Free quotes: 01296 714445

Autumn is the season that quietly tests a surface.

Standing water works into small cracks, and the first frosts open them wider. Puddles are patient — they'll sit there all winter doing their bit of damage. Keeping the falls and drainage clear is what keeps a drive, road or car park sound through the wet months.

If yours has started holding water, we're happy to take a look.

A new drive starts at the kerb. If your plans mean crossing the footway, that section — the vehicle crossover — needs a licensed contractor, council approval, and work done to the highway's standard.

We hold the Streetworks Licence and we're NRSWA accredited, so we do the whole job: dropped kerb, crossover and the drive behind it.

AI cameras are now spotting potholes before drivers feel them — National Highways is already using the technology on England's strategic road network.

We liked this one. Anything that helps catch a defect while it's still a small repair, rather than a big one, seems worth watching.

Fresh from Notting Hill: a private road and its footways resurfaced for main contractor Bancroft Heath Ltd. Hand work where the paver couldn't reach, machine lay where it could — SMA 10 to the carriageway, AC6 to the footways, rolled while it was hot.

Not every job needs a paver. This access apron at a gas relay station near Chelmsford was all hand work for main contractor PP Construction Ltd — 100mm of heavy-duty AC20 binder under a 10mm SMA surface course, barrowed in, raked to level and rolled while it was hot. Small area, full spec. If you've got an entrance, apron or hardstanding that needs doing properly: www.edwardssurfacing.co.uk · 01296 714445

The best time to relay a school's courts is when nobody's there to use them. Four days on site during the summer break — two of prep, then a 6mm SMA surface machine-laid over tack coat, access covers re-bedded flush so there's nothing to catch a ball or a toe.

If your site has a quiet window coming up, that's the time to book surfacing. Free quotes: www.edwardssurfacing.co.uk · 01296 714445
