Asphalt reinstatement across Sydney

Making good after plumbing, electrical, drainage and utility work. For plumbers, electricians, builders, civil contractors and homeowners who need the asphalt put back properly once the trench is backfilled.

Trench reinstatement

After a trench is dug through an asphalt driveway, car park or road, the backfill and the surface both need to be done properly or the trench line sinks and cracks. We compact the base, then lay and roll new asphalt flush with the existing surface.

Making good after excavation

Service pits, inspection openings, sewer and stormwater connections, and excavations for new services. Where the edges of the existing asphalt are ragged, we saw cut them back to a clean, straight line first so the joint seals properly.

Crossover and footpath reinstatement

Driveway crossovers and footpath sections across the council verge are often dug up during building and services work. Reinstating them usually has to meet council requirements, so check what your council needs before the work starts.

Working with trades and builders

If you are a plumber, electrician or builder, send us the address, trench size and photos once you know your backfill date, and we will work in with your program. Use the quote form or call 0400 945 336.

How we do it

Saw cut the existing edges back to sound asphalt, remove loose material, compact the base, lay hot mix asphalt, roll it flush with the surface around it, and seal the joints. It is the same sequence we use on every job, just at a smaller scale.

Common questions

How soon after backfill can you come?

Send us your backfill date as early as you can, and we will let you know our earliest availability.

Will the reinstatement match the existing surface?

It will sit flush with the surface around it. New asphalt is darker at first and fades towards the colour of the existing surface over time.

Do you do reinstatement on council roads?

Work on public roads needs council approval and has to meet its conditions. Get in touch with the details and we can talk through what is involved.
