Services
Asphalt Roofing
Our asphalt roofing provides unparalleled durability, lasting 40-70 years with minimal maintenance. The seamless application creates a 100% waterproof barrier suitable for flat roofs in domestic and industrial settings. Clients benefit from easy repairs and long-term cost savings.
Asphalt Flooring
We install asphalt flooring solutions that prevent damp penetration and dust generation while creating level surfaces. Compatible with various floor coverings, our systems address failed damp-proof courses on concrete or quarry tiles in residential and commercial properties.
Asphalt Tanking
Specialist basement tanking solutions create permanent waterproof barriers against hydrostatic pressure. Applied in conjunction with structural elements, our systems outlast buildings themselves, ensuring dry environments for storage or habitation in subterranean spaces.
Waterproof Coatings
Mastic asphalt coatings provide 100% waterproofing for diverse surfaces including concrete, brick, and tiles. The hot-laid application ensures seamless coverage resistant to wear, chemicals, and extreme weather conditions across industrial and domestic projects.
Colored Asphalt
Custom-colored asphalt solutions offer aesthetic flexibility while maintaining technical performance. Available in multiple hues for architectural features, pathways, or specific design requirements where standard black asphalt would be unsuitable visually.

Got a very competitive quote with Ace Asphalt and decided based on reviews to go with them to do a ground floor cover for a two bed terrace house currently half way through being renovated. Processes went word for word as planned and I couldn't have been happier with the results. Will 100% use again if needed.

ACE did an asphalt floor covering for me. The guys turned up exactly on time on the day we agreed. They work like clockwork as a team; harder than I have ever seen anyone work before. They were very happy to involve me in the whole process and explained fully everything that they were doing. They were jovial and made me feel very welcome to be there to allow me to understand exactly how the system works. Everything was completed to my satisfaction and they also cleared the site fully. I would have no hesitation in working with them again and will be recommending this firm to anyone that I can.

Ace Asphalt laid us a complete ground floor surface in a three-bedroom semi-detached house. An excellent job done, with a positive can do attitude, and minimum disruption. Could not fault. Recommended.

Ace Asphalt laid an asphalt floor for us within a school hall prior to our floor coverings. They were competitively priced, efficient and did a good job. Would recommend.
