Service Area

Around Roodepoort, and across the metro

We come out across Roodepoort — Weltevredenpark, Florida, Constantia Kloof, Little Falls, Wilgeheuwel and Honeydew. No walk-in office — we come to the job.

Areas We Serve:

Somewhere not on the list? Phone us. If it is in the metro, we probably come out to it.

What we get called about

Driveway cracked right through? Complex road failing at the gate?

  • It sank where the car stands.

    The base was never compacted properly, so the weight found the soft ground under it.

  • The tar cracked in a pattern.

    That is the ground moving underneath, not the tar wearing out.

  • Water sits on it after a storm.

    No falls were set, so the water stays, soaks in, and the base gives up from below.

  • The old surface is breaking up at the entrance.

    The entrance takes every vehicle that comes to the property, and it is usually built the same as the rest — which is not enough.

It is the base underneath, and it is the same story on both.

How we build it

In Roodepoort, the base gets built before anything is laid

A surface is only as good as what is under it. In Roodepoort that is worth saying out loud, because it is the part every cheap quote leaves out and the part you cannot inspect once the job is done.

  1. 01

    Strip and shape

    Off comes the topsoil, and we cut the falls so water leaves the surface.

  2. 02

    Sub-base

    G5 crushed stone, compacted in layers, deep enough for what drives on it.

  3. 03

    Prime coat

    MC-30 bitumen, so the asphalt bonds instead of sitting loose on the stone.

  4. 04

    Asphalt

    6 mm or 9 mm on driveways, 13 mm where trucks run. Hot, screeded, rolled.

  5. 05

    Edges and clean-up

    Straight edges or kerbing, then swept and blown before we leave.

In Roodepoort

The far end of our patch, and we say so

We are based on the East Rand. Roodepoort is right across the metro, out past the N1 and along Ontdekkers, and it is the furthest we regularly go. Pretending otherwise would be silly — the first thing you would ask on the phone is where we are coming from.

What makes it work is job size. A full driveway in Weltevredenpark or Constantia Kloof, a complex road in Florida, a parking area off Ontdekkers — those are jobs where a properly built base matters and where the travel is a small part of the total. A repair to three square metres is not, and we will say so rather than pad a quote to make the trip worthwhile. If we cannot do your job at a fair price from where we are, the honest answer is to tell you that on the phone.

Why Choose Us

Why Roodepoort property owners take our quote

  • Honest about the run

    Roodepoort is our furthest regular work. We come for jobs that justify it and we tell you when yours does not, which saves us both a morning.

  • We build the base, and we show it to you

    Sub-base, compaction, prime coat, then tar. It is itemised on your quote as its own line, so you can hold it against a quote that has not got one.

  • A price before we start

    Written, per square metre, off an actual measure-up. No telephone quotes. No number that grows halfway through.

  • We are in Joburg every day

    East Rand base, metro service area. Not a national call centre that sends whoever is free.

  • The crew that quotes is the crew that arrives

    We do not subcontract the lay. James quotes every job himself.

What it costs

What a Roodepoort job usually turns on

Priced per square metre, measured on site. These are the three things that move it most here.

  • Job size against the travel

    A full driveway or bigger absorbs the run comfortably. A small patch does not, and we will say so.

  • What is under the existing surface

    The same question as everywhere. Sound ground is less base work; made ground is more.

  • Days on site

    We would rather do a Roodepoort job in consecutive days than in and out repeatedly, and the programme reflects that.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you come out to Roodepoort?

Yes, and it is our furthest regular work. For a full driveway, a complex road or a parking area it is well worth the run. For a small repair it probably is not, and we will tell you that on the phone rather than send somebody across the metro to say it in person.

Is there a tar surfacing company near me in Roodepoort?

There are contractors based on that side. We come from the East Rand, so judge us on the job rather than the map — the thing we do differently is build and itemise the sub-base instead of quoting around it. Phone 064 856 3715 and describe the work.

What happens if it rains on the day?

We move you. Nothing gets laid in the rain, ever. In summer we start before sunrise so the surface is down and rolled before the afternoon storms come over. We would rather move you to Thursday than come back in two years.

Can you not just tar over what is there?

Sometimes. If the base underneath is still sound we can mill the old surface off and lay a new one. Often the answer is no, because the old surface broke up precisely because the base failed. We will tell you which one you have when we look at it.

Does the distance make it more expensive?

There is no call-out charge for a quote. On the work itself, travel sits inside the per-square-metre price, which is why job size matters more here than it does closer to home. On a full driveway the difference is small.

How long does a tarred surface last?

Fifteen to twenty years if the base under it is right. Laid straight onto soft ground, you will see cracking and sinking inside two or three summers. That is the whole difference, and it is the part you cannot see once the job is done.

Will you be on site every day until it is finished?

That is how we prefer to run a Roodepoort job — consecutive days rather than coming and going. Weather can still move a lay day, and if it does, Thabo phones you rather than leaving you to wonder.

Who comes out to quote?

James, the owner. He quotes every job himself and does the measure-up on your property. Marius writes up the per-square-metre price and the sub-base breakdown afterwards.
