Loose chippings (surface dressing) are an economic and effective way of repairing road surfaces, reducing the risk of skidding and sealing cracks against water. We have to carry out the work in summer because cold weather prevents the binder sticking to the surface of the road. Contact your local Area Highways Office if you have a problem.
