Highway Sector

Shepherd & Sons provides specialist highways sector services designed to keep roads safe, durable, and fully compliant. Our expertise includes high-performance line marking, including thermoplastic road marking for long-lasting visibility in all conditions.

We deliver precise concrete cutting and diamond drilling, alongside essential maintenance services such as joint sealing, crack chasing, and overbanding to prevent further deterioration. Our team also undertakes efficient pavement repairs to extend the life of highway surfaces.

With a focus on safety, speed, and minimal disruption, Shepherd & Sons is a trusted partner for reliable, high-quality highway maintenance and surfacing solutions.

Highway surfacing contractors in Kent and across the UK

We are based at Little Westerhill Farm near Maidstone in Kent and work on motorway and trunk road pavements nationwide under Chapter 8 traffic management. Highway work is bought as a night closure or a weekend possession, so the real measure of it is how much of the programme is finished when the road reopens. Day to day that means Kent, London, Sussex and Essex, with national mobilisation for extended programmes.
