Anti-Skid Surfacing
Anti-Skid Surfacing You Can Trust
High Friction Surfacing Contractors
Anti-skid surfacing can significantly improve the safety of areas for pedestrians and workers, as well as motorists on the road. With an extensive range of hot and cold-applied high friction surfacing, we can adapt our methods and materials to accommodate for every one of your site specific, anti-skid requirements.
Some of the Anti-Skid Surfacing Solutions We Can Offer:
- Hitex Type 1 – a hot-applied, immediate long-term solution for sites with a high risk of skidding or collisions, such as sharp bends or slip roads
- EcoGrip Type 1 – a cold-applied material that utilises an odourless, low toxicity binder system to increase surface friction between tyres and the road surface
- A Range of Coloured Surfacing – a simple and effective way visually delineating or reinforcing messages of conventional road markings, cycle ways, bus lanes, etc.

CASE STUDY
Keeping traffic moving on the A6
A recent overnight project on the A6 in Stockport required full lane closures and temporary diversions. Our crews removed the worn lines, applied high‑visibility centre and edge lines plus speed roundels, and reopened the road before the morning commute. The result? Improved visibility and zero snagging on inspection.
