Footpaths and towpaths are used by thousands of pedestrians and cyclists every single day. The constant wear and tear lead to damage and cracks, which are further aggravated by exposure to weather conditions.
Proper construction and footpath surfacing will help extend the lifespan of your footpaths, offering better slip resistance for pedestrians and cyclists.
LSL Surfacing is experienced in handling all types of tarmac footpath surface dressing with minimal disruption to the public. Connect with us today for new footpath construction. Our services comply with civil engineering best practices and local civil codes.
With three decades of experience working with local councils, canal trusts, and contractors, our team can help with footpath maintenance, repair and resurfacing jobs with minimal disruption to the public.
Potholes and cracks cause trips and falls, distorting the aesthetics of canals and riversides. If you notice any of these issues, connect with us at LSL Surfacing.
Our footpath repair solutions are cost-effective and eco-conscious, helping extend the lifespan of walking paths with minimal disruption. Using a team of trained professionals and modern technology, we offer quick turnaround without compromising on quality.
Some common footpath resurfacing solutions that we offer include:
1. Tar and chip resurfacing
2. Asphalt resurfacing
3. Tarmac resurfacing
Canal towpaths and public footpaths are used constantly, and using subpar materials during surfacing will impact the durability of the construction. The surface dressing material you choose will depend on whether the footpath is located in an urban, suburban, or rural area.
We regularly use the following surfacing materials:
Tar & Chip: A more popular material for rural areas, offering a textured, anti-slip surface. Tar and chip is cost-effective, quick to apply, and highly durable.
Asphalt: More common in urban and suburban areas that experience higher foot traffic and require better accessibility for prams and wheelchairs. Asphalt is durable with minimal ongoing maintenance needed.
Tarmac: Slightly more expensive than other surface dressing solutions, ideal for public spaces like parks, around canals and lakes, and school premises. Tarmac is durable, weather-resistant and easier to repair.
Accessibility and aesthetics shouldn’t come at the cost of sustainability. At LSL Surfacing, we always strive to reduce our carbon footprint by using recycled and eco-friendly materials wherever possible, like SUDS asphalt.
We also have low-emission equipment and machinery, and undertake minimal excavation to reduce pollution levels.
Canals have a very delicate ecology, and we take all necessary precautions when surfacing towpaths to minimise ecological disruption without sacrificing the quality of our work.
Want affordable and sustainable tarmac footpath surfacing solutions?
We’ve been helping to construct compliant, durable and safe public footpaths for the last three decades. By keeping all our work in-house, we can guarantee high-quality workmanship, provide reliable warranties, and prevent delays or communication issues.
Here is what you can expect from working with us:
As a family-run surfacing business across Essex, Northamptonshire and Leicestershire, we’ve been trusted by hundreds of farm owners, local councils, and homeowners for all their resurfacing requirements.
You can trust LSL Surfacing because:
How soon can the footpath be used after surfacing?
With tarmac surfacing, the footpath can be used by light traffic after 24 hours. It’ll be available for full use after a day or two.
How much will I pay for public footpath surfacing?
The cost of public footpath and canal towpath surfacing depends on the total area being covered, the material being used, and whether any groundwork is needed.
How to maintain footpaths after resurfacing?
After public footpath resurfacing, we recommend sweeping them regularly, sealing any cracks before winter, and undertaking spot treatment if potholes are noticed. Public footpaths shouldn’t be used by heavy load-bearing vehicles, and oil and chemical spills must be immediately addressed.
