Can anyone advise on approximate price per m2 for a base and top coat, but excluding the hardcore sub base and associated costs? It’s a farm lane of about 300m long.
Hmm, thanks, I’m not looking forward to that kind of expenditure.Depends on size and depth, 20mm sub, 10mm top?
@30 mm deep plus 20mm top I bet it will be high £20,000's
That’s a good thickness, any particular reason?We had a 60mm base and 40mm hot rolled asphalt surface for about £25 a sqm supplied and laid, so at 300m x 3m? wide = 22k, + vat with mobilisation and setup cost etc ontop too
Then diesel it ?Road planings aren't a bad substitute, we did 1.4km x 4m wide x 5" deep

You got itThen diesel it ?
Is it possible to put tarmac over concrete, or is that a big no no?There's is no cheap fix sadly.
At least with tarmac you can patch or strip and re do wear coat.
With concrete it's start again.
They did on some of the A180 (to reduce noise) and its still there.Is it possible to put tarmac over concrete, or is that a big no no?

wearing course could go ontop if existing base surface is very good condition (no rutting), clean... very clean!, and not been polished from use, needs a decent tack coat sprayed on existing surface before laying.What’s the best way to go about resurfacing tarmac that had a 60mm base but no wear course (unfortunately) and now has wear (but not potholes)
Can you just add a wear course or do you need a 20mm base plus wear ?

Very possible if the concrete is sound and doesn't really need replacing ......

40mm is minimum we would have any layer laid at, even a base top up, in past we have topped a poor 60 base with another 40 base and then surface dressed.
Did they “have a bit of tarmac left over from another job” by any chance ?
