Why Accessible Surfacing Matters
When it comes to creating inclusive spaces, surfacing plays a vital role. Whether it’s a private driveway, a school entrance, or a public car park, the surface underfoot can make the difference between accessibility and exclusion. For wheelchair users and those with reduced mobility, poorly designed surfaces can present real challenges—uneven paving, loose gravel, steep gradients, or cracked tarmac all create barriers.
At Total Surfacing Solutions, we understand the importance of safe, durable, and smooth surfaces that are designed with accessibility in mind. As trusted commercial tarmac contractors in Hertfordshire, we provide surfacing solutions that not only look great but also ensure safe movement for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, pushchairs, and pedestrians alike.
Resin Bound Surfaces for Smooth, Non-Slip Access
One of the most popular solutions for wheelchair-friendly surfaces is resin driveways. Unlike loose gravel, which is almost impossible for wheelchair wheels to roll over smoothly, resin creates a flat, seamless finish. Its anti-slip properties and ability to withstand heavy use make it ideal for both domestic and commercial settings.
Resin is particularly effective for:
- Driveways leading to homes where accessibility is key.
- School entrances and playgrounds where mobility access must be prioritised.
- Pathways and communal areas in residential complexes.
Resin is also low maintenance, requiring only occasional jet washing to maintain its clean, professional appearance.
Tarmac Surfacing for Durable Mobility Routes
When it comes to robust and cost-effective solutions, tarmac installation in Hertfordshire remains a leading choice. Tarmac offers an even, durable surface that is perfect for wheelchairs and mobility scooters. It is resistant to cracking, can withstand heavy traffic, and provides a smooth ride with minimal jolts or bumps.
Our expertise in machine lay tarmac ensures precision installation with a uniform finish—something that is essential for accessibility. For car parks, pathways, and driveways, tarmac is often the most practical option.
Applications include:
- Car park tarmac services in Hertfordshire with accessible bays clearly marked.
- Tarmac pathways in Hertfordshire connecting building entrances with surrounding areas.
- Tarmac driveways in Hertfordshire designed to provide safe, easy access for homeowners with mobility needs.
Line Marking and Accessible Parking
Accessibility is about more than just the surface itself—it’s also about how the space is used. Clear, professional line marking is essential in car parks and public areas. Wheelchair users rely on correctly sized, well-marked bays with safe routes leading from the parking area to entrances.
At Total Surfacing Solutions, we provide professional commercial surfacing & road surfacing alongside line marking services. This ensures that accessibility considerations are integrated into the entire surfacing project.
Repairing and Maintaining Accessible Surfaces
Even the best surfaces require ongoing care. Cracks, potholes, and surface degradation can all create hazards for wheelchair users. Our professional pothole repairs service ensures that surfaces remain safe and functional at all times. Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your surface but also helps keep it compliant with accessibility standards.
