Asphalt is a petroleum-based product. Oils, petrol and brake fluids will act as a solvent and cause the surface to soften. If left untreated this will cause eventual damage. Deal with oil spills early rather than leaving them to degrade your surfaces.

Typically, the asphalt offered in this type of work is “watered down” and laid unprofessionally. Result – it may look great when it first goes down but not long after the scammers have taken your money and disappeared the problems surface.

In carparks and vehicle areas, using line marking helps to define areas and direct traffic. All asphalt surfaces can be marked to provide just about any directional information required, such as arrows, turning points, carparks, hazards, speed limits etcetera. This can negate the need for further pole signage. Depending on the preparation of the surface and making sure the paint used is appropriate for the purpose, asphalt line marking will usually be more durable. At Budget Asphalt we can arrange line marking on the surfaces we prepare such that your commercial areas direct traffic flow according to your needs.
