Anti Skid Surfacing
Anti skid surfacing is a coloured surface coating applied to roads, junctions, and specific areas to increase friction and reduce vehicle stopping distances. Commonly seen as yellow or red surfaces on UK roads at high-risk junctions, bus stops, and approach zones. Contains aggregate grit for friction.
Two types:
- Cold applied anti-skid
- Hot applied anti-skid
Applications: Road junctions, approach zones, bus stops, pedestrian crossings, car parks, private roads.
Anti skid surfacing contractors in Kent and across the UK
We are based at Little Westerhill Farm near Maidstone in Kent and apply high friction surfacing to roads, junctions, bus lanes and approach zones nationwide. The material needs the surface dry and above temperature, so anti skid is one of the few things we programme around the forecast as closely as the closure. Day to day that means Kent, London, Sussex and Essex, with national mobilisation for extended programmes.
The formal specification term for this work is high friction surfacing, and the standards behind it, Clause 924, calcined bauxite at PSV 70 and BBA HAPAS certification, are set out on our high friction surfacing page.
