What is the ideal weather for laying hot asphalt?

Hot mix asphalt requires dry conditions and ambient temperatures typically above 10°C (50°F). Cold weather causes the mixture to cool too rapidly, preventing proper compaction and binding.

How deep does a surface cavity need to be before it requires patching?

Industry standards generally suggest that any hole deeper than an inch or wider than a few inches should be addressed immediately. Prompt filling prevents moisture from penetrating and destroying the underlying sub-base.

Can new tarmac be laid directly over an existing surface?

Yes, this process is known as an overlay or resurfacing. However, it is only a viable option if the existing underlying base remains structurally sound and retains proper gradients for water runoff.
