Section 38.
At Matte Black Surfacing, we specialise in the delivery of high-quality Section 38 (S38) asphalt works, providing adoptable highway surfacing for new developments. We work closely with developers, groundworks contractors, and local authorities to ensure all works are completed to the required standards for adoption.
Our Approach.
We understand the importance of accuracy, durability, and compliance when constructing adoptable highways. Our experienced team delivers asphalt surfacing in line with approved drawings, technical approvals, and local authority specifications.
Using modern paving equipment, we lay asphalt to tight tolerances, ensuring correct levels, consistent falls, and smooth tie-ins throughout the development. This precision is essential to achieving approval and long-term performance. We also use road scan technology on our Vogele-5 pavers, which can give you instant on-site laying records.
