03 / THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SURFACE
We’re R Butcher Surfacing, a family-owned business based in Brightlingsea, near Colchester, established in 1999 by Robert Butcher and working in tarmac and asphalt ever since. We bring the same care to a home driveway as we do to a large road surfacing project.
Straightforward advice, a professional team, and work we’re proud to stand behind. We run our own tipper lorries, vans, a paver, rollers and mini diggers, so every job is handled by people who know the equipment and the ground conditions on every kind of site.
