About Us – Trusted Surfacing Experts in Mayo

At Connaught Tarmac, we bring decades of experience in delivering premium surfacing solutions across the west of Ireland. Based in Tullysleva, Ballina, we’ve built our reputation on quality workmanship, reliable service, and attention to detail.

Hot spraying with PEA (Pre-coated Engineered Aggregate) gravel is one of our most popular and practical surfacing options. It combines the flexibility of bitumen with the decorative and durable properties of fine gravel, creating a textured, attractive surface that’s built to last.

How It Works: The Spraying and Gravel Process

Our hot spray and chip method delivers fast, effective, and lasting results:

Step 1: Surface Prep

We clean, level, and prepare the existing surface to ensure optimal adhesion and even coverage.

Step 2: Bitumen Application

A hot bitumen emulsion is evenly sprayed over the surface to act as a strong adhesive base.

Step 3: Aggregate Spreading

PEA gravel is spread across the surface while the bitumen is still hot, locking it in place as it cools.

Step 4: Compaction

A roller presses the gravel into the bitumen for a secure, long-lasting bond.

Step 5: Final Touches

We remove excess gravel and clean the area to reveal a neat, durable finish.
