Pot Hole Repairs
At Apollo Surfacing, we offer both temporary and permanent pothole repair solutions tailored to the needs of each site. Using premium-grade tarmac and proper base preparation techniques, we ensure every repair is durable, weather-resistant, and built to last. Potholes not only damage vehicles but also present serious safety risks to drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians — particularly in high-traffic environments such as car parks, forecourts, and access roads. That’s why our team responds promptly, carrying out repairs efficiently and with minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations.
In addition to standard pothole repairs, we also provide surface patching and infill services for cracked, sunken, or deteriorating tarmac. These preventative treatments can significantly extend the life of your surface and reduce the need for more extensive resurfacing work down the line. Every repair is carried out to strict industry standards, ensuring the area is safe, smooth, and fit for purpose. Whether you’re maintaining a commercial estate, retail park, or private access road, you can count on Apollo Surfacing for a reliable, long-term fix.
Dropped Kerb Installation
Installing a dropped kerb is essential when creating or upgrading a vehicle access point, whether for a private driveway or a commercial entrance. Apollo Surfacing provides professional dropped kerb installations that are safe, durable, and fully compliant with local authority regulations. We work with both residential homeowners and commercial clients to install kerbs that blend seamlessly into the surrounding surface and are built to withstand repeated vehicle traffic.
In most cases, permission from the local council is required before work can begin. Our team can help guide you through the application process and liaise with the appropriate authority to ensure all work meets council specifications. As Street Works registered contractors, we are qualified to carry out kerb lowering works on public highways and footpaths — something only approved providers can legally do.
Whether you’re improving access to a commercial site or adding a new entrance to your home, we’ll make sure the job is done properly, safely, and in full compliance with local rules. We use high-quality materials, ensure correct drainage, and provide a clean, professional finish every time.
Line Marking
Our professional line marking services include everything from parking bays, directional arrows, and disabled access symbols to pedestrian crossings and custom safety signage. All markings are applied using high-durability thermoplastic materials that are designed to withstand heavy traffic and harsh weather. We follow industry standards to ensure that every marking is sharp, visible, and built to last, helping to reduce risk and improve the flow of vehicles and pedestrians across your site.
Whether you’re laying out a brand-new car park, updating a private access road, or refreshing faded markings, Apollo Surfacing delivers precise, compliant results every time. We also offer bespoke line marking solutions tailored to your site’s layout or operational requirements, including numbered bays, safety zones, loading areas, and more. Our team will work with you to plan the best configuration for your space, ensuring maximum clarity, efficiency, and safety.
Commercial Surfacing, Repairs & Line Marking – FAQs
What types of commercial surfacing projects do you take on?
Apollo Surfacing handles a wide range of commercial surfacing projects designed to meet the needs of businesses, local authorities, developers, and industrial sites. Our expertise covers everything from full road construction and resurfacing to car parks, access routes, pedestrian areas, forecourts, and service yards. We regularly work with schools, hospitals, retail parks, industrial estates, commercial landlords, and private management companies who require durable, safe, and long-lasting surfaces built for heavy usage.
Whether you need a completely new surface installed or an existing surface refurbished, we can manage every stage — from ground preparation and drainage to the application of high-quality tarmac or resin bound materials. We also offer pothole repairs, surface patching, and thermoplastic line marking as part of our commercial service offering, ensuring your site is both functional and compliant.
Our experienced team is SafeContractor approved and listed on the Street Works Qualifications Register, meaning we can work safely and legally on public highways and commercial environments. No matter the scale of your project, we aim to deliver results that improve safety, efficiency, and the overall appearance of your site. Every job is completed with a focus on durability, minimal disruption, and long-term performance.
Do you offer line marking services as part of commercial surfacing?
Yes — line marking is a key part of our commercial surfacing services, and we provide both standalone line marking and marking as part of a complete surfacing installation. Clear, accurate line marking is essential for organising traffic flow, improving safety, and ensuring compliance across commercial and public environments. We install thermoplastic markings for car parks, access roads, industrial sites, delivery bays, pedestrian routes, safety zones, loading areas, fire lanes, and more.
Our team uses high-visibility, long-lasting thermoplastic materials designed to withstand heavy traffic and weather exposure, ensuring your markings stay crisp and easy to read. Whether you’re creating a completely new layout or refreshing faded or outdated markings, we plan every marking carefully to maximise visibility and site functionality.
We also offer custom configurations, including numbered bays, branded markings, directional arrows, logistics zones, or any bespoke layout your site requires. All applications follow UK safety and compliance standards, including guidance set out by the Department for Transport and local authority regulations.
When combined with our surfacing work, our line marking service provides a seamless, efficient solution — meaning your new surface is fully marked, compliant, and ready for immediate use.
What materials do you use for commercial surfacing?
Commercial surfacing requires materials that can handle constant traffic, heavy loads, and long-term wear, which is why we only use premium, industry-approved products. The main materials we work with are tarmac (asphalt) and resin bound aggregates, each suited to different types of commercial environments. Tarmac is highly durable, cost-effective, and ideal for roads, car parks, access routes, and industrial surfaces that need strength and resilience. It performs well under frequent vehicle movement, making it a trusted choice for businesses and public authorities.
Resin bound surfacing is a popular option for commercial areas that need both durability and visual appeal, such as entranceways, forecourts, pathways, and public spaces. It offers a smooth, permeable, low-maintenance finish that is also slip-resistant, making it safe for high-footfall areas. Resin bound systems are also SuDS-compliant, helping reduce flooding risks and manage water drainage effectively.
In addition to surfacing materials, we use thermoplastic for line marking, which provides long-lasting, high-visibility results that comply with UK standards. For repairs, we use high-grade tarmac mixes, cold-lay materials where appropriate, and specialist patching compounds designed for longevity.
Every material is chosen based on performance, safety, and suitability for the specific site, ensuring a strong, long-lasting and reliable finish.
Do I need permission to install a dropped kerb?
In most cases, yes — you will need permission from the local council before installing a dropped kerb, especially if the kerb is located on or connects to a public highway or pavement. This applies to both commercial sites and private properties. Local authorities require applications to ensure that any changes to public footpaths, verges, drainage systems, or road layouts are carried out safely and in line with legal standards.
Apollo Surfacing can assist with the entire process, including advising on what permissions you need, helping you understand council requirements, and guiding you through the application. Councils usually assess factors such as visibility, traffic flow, pedestrian safety, existing utilities, and the impact on road users.
As Street Works registered contractors, we are legally qualified to carry out dropped kerb installations on public highways — something only approved providers can do. This ensures that your kerb lowering works are compliant, safe, and professionally installed.
Installing a dropped kerb without permission can lead to fines, enforcement action, or a requirement to reinstate the area at your own cost, so gaining approval is essential. Our team makes the process straightforward and ensures all work meets the required regulations and standards.
Do I need planning permission for commercial surfacing?
Whether you need planning permission depends on the type, scale, and location of the commercial surfacing project. In many cases, resurfacing or upgrading an existing surface does not require planning permission, as it is considered maintenance or improvement of an established site. However, significant changes — such as creating a new access road, altering drainage, expanding a car park, adding new entrances/exits, or modifying land levels — may require approval.
For commercial premises, factors such as proximity to public highways, environmental impact, potential surface water runoff, and increased traffic movement are often assessed by the planning department. Resin bound surfaces are SuDS-compliant and permeable, which can help reduce planning requirements in certain cases.
Apollo Surfacing works closely with businesses to assess your project and help determine whether an application is necessary. If required, we can provide supporting information such as surfacing specifications, drainage details, and layout plans to assist with the approval process.
It’s always best to check before starting work, as carrying out commercial surfacing without the correct permissions can lead to delays, enforcement action, or the need to undo completed work. Our team ensures everything is handled properly to keep your project compliant and stress-free.
Can you repair or resurface existing commercial tarmac?
Yes — we specialise in both repairing and resurfacing commercial tarmac across all types of business and public environments. If your surface has potholes, cracks, worn patches, or general deterioration, our team can assess the condition and recommend the most appropriate solution. In many cases, targeted repairs such as patching, infills, or pothole filling can significantly extend the life of your tarmac without the need for full resurfacing.
When larger areas are affected, resurfacing may be the most cost-effective and long-term solution. This involves cleaning the surface, repairing damaged sections, and applying a new layer of premium-grade tarmac to restore strength, smoothness, and safety. Resurfacing also allows you to refresh road markings, reorganise layouts, and improve drainage — making the site more efficient and user-friendly.
Our team works with minimal disruption and can operate outside peak hours to keep your business functioning while work takes place. Every repair or resurfacing project is completed to industry standards, ensuring a long-lasting result designed to withstand heavy traffic and commercial use.
What are the advantages of resin bound surfacing for commercial use?
Resin bound surfacing offers several advantages that make it ideal for commercial environments. One of the biggest benefits is its combination of strength and visual appeal — it provides a hard-wearing, professional-looking surface that suits entrances, pathways, public spaces, courtyards, forecourts, and high-footfall areas. The seamless, smooth finish looks modern and is available in a wide range of colours, allowing businesses to match branding or create a premium aesthetic.
Resin bound surfaces are also fully permeable, meaning water drains through the surface, helping sites meet SuDS regulations and reducing the risk of puddling or surface water issues. This makes it especially useful in areas where drainage is a concern. The material is also slip-resistant, making it safer for pedestrians, particularly in areas with regular foot traffic.
Maintenance is minimal — resin bound surfaces resist weeds, do not crack easily, and stay looking clean with basic upkeep. They also perform well under moderate vehicle use, making them suitable for specific commercial applications such as light traffic routes or decorative vehicle areas.
For businesses wanting a surface that combines practicality, durability, and attractive design, resin bound surfacing is an exceptional choice.
Are your line markings compliant with UK regulations?
Yes — all of our thermoplastic line markings fully comply with UK regulations and industry standards. We follow guidance set out by the Department for Transport, local authorities, and the relevant British Standards to ensure all markings are safe, clear, and fit for purpose. This includes correct sizing, spacing, colour application, placement, and reflectivity requirements where applicable.
Compliance is essential in commercial environments, particularly for car parks, loading bays, pedestrian routes, and safety zones. Incorrect markings can lead to confusion, accidents, accessibility issues, or even legal complications for businesses. Our experienced team ensures every marking is planned and applied with accuracy, promoting safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians.
We also install markings specifically required under the Equality Act, such as clearly defined disabled bays and access routes with proper visibility. For commercial premises welcoming the public, these elements are crucial for meeting legal obligations and maintaining an inclusive site.
All line markings are applied using high-performance thermoplastic designed to endure heavy traffic, harsh weather, and long-term wear. With Apollo Surfacing, you can be confident that your markings are durable, compliant, and professionally executed.
