The detail

Surfaces that
hold up.

Tar fails from the bottom. Water gets into a cracked surface, softens the base, and the potholes you patched last year come back in the same places. We fix the layer that failed rather than skimming over the symptom.

  • 01
    Assessment and survey

    We check the existing surface, base condition and drainage before we quote anything.

  • 02
    Patch and pothole repair

    Cut out the failed section, repair the base and reinstate with hot or cold mix compacted properly.

  • 03
    Full resurfacing

    Prime, tack coat and new asphalt layer over a corrected base, compacted to spec.

  • 04
    Trench reinstatement

    Reinstating after cable, water and fibre trenching — to municipal standard, not a rough fill.

  • 05
    Phased delivery

    We work in sections so a complex or business park never loses access completely.

  • 06
    Kerbing and line marking

    Kerbs, channels, bay marking and directional arrows to finish the job properly.

Our crew does the work

Scheduled, done by iLifa staff, site cleared afterwards. We hand it over finished.

Questions

Straight answers.

What does tar surfacing cost per square metre?

It depends on the area, the state of the existing base and access for plant. A large open car park costs far less per square metre than a tight driveway. We measure on site and quote a rate in writing.

Can you resurface without closing the car park?

Yes. We phase the work in sections so tenants, staff or residents always have access and parking. The programme comes with the quote.

How long before we can drive on it?

Usually 24 to 48 hours depending on temperature and layer thickness. We tell you per section so you can plan around it.

Do you repair potholes only, or full areas?

Both. Sometimes patching is the sensible spend and sometimes it is throwing money at a base that has already failed. We will tell you which, honestly.

Do you work for body corporates and managing agents?

Yes — complexes, business parks, schools and retail centres are a large part of what we do. We can present the quote to a trustee meeting if that helps.

Are you registered for municipal work?

Yes. Level 1 BBBEE contributor, CIDB registered, and we do reinstatement work for the City of Cape Town.
