Road Construction

Durable road construction services for new developments, access roads, and upgrades across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Berkshire.

Reliable Road Construction for Residential and Commercial Developments

Well-constructed roads are essential for providing safe, long-lasting access to homes, businesses, and construction sites. At Scane & Sons, we specialise in delivering high-quality road construction for private and commercial developments. Whether you’re planning a new access road, upgrading an existing one, or building an entire site infrastructure, we can help.

With years of experience and fully certified operatives, we manage the process from ground preparation through to surfacing. We also liaise with site managers, local authorities, and utility providers to ensure everything meets regulations and project deadlines. As a result, our roadworks stand up to heavy use and weather exposure, year after year.

What Is Road Construction in Groundworks?

Road construction involves more than just laying tarmac. It requires careful planning, ground preparation, and structural layering to ensure stability and drainage. Roads must also be built to accommodate expected traffic loads and usage patterns.

In groundwork terms, road construction often includes:

  • Site clearance and excavation
  • Sub-base and base layer installation
  • Drainage and kerb laying
  • Tarmac or concrete surfacing
  • Final finishing such as road markings or access features

Each layer plays a critical role in ensuring the road performs over time, even under repeated loading or challenging weather.

Why Professional Road Construction Matters

A poorly built road can lead to costly repairs, water damage, or even access issues that delay wider developments. That’s why it’s important to use trained contractors who follow the correct methods, use the right materials, and understand regulatory requirements.

Our roads are built to last, with strong foundations and attention to detail at every stage. Moreover, we prioritise safety, drainage, and durability – whether the road will serve a private driveway, commercial yard, or residential estate.

Types of Road Projects We Work On

We handle a wide range of road construction projects across Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties. These include:

  • New access roads for developments
  • Driveways and private estate roads
  • Construction site haul roads
  • Road upgrades and resurfacing
  • Service yard and parking area builds

Each job starts with a detailed assessment of the site and its needs. We then design and construct the road to match your plans, timescale, and budget.

Road Construction for Developments and Infrastructure

Our roadworks often form part of a larger development. We work alongside developers, architects, and engineers to ensure every road integrates seamlessly with the site’s infrastructure. This includes coordinating with:

  • Drainage installation
  • Footpath and kerb laying
  • Utility trenching
  • Foundations and landscaping

By delivering multiple services in-house, we reduce the number of contractors you need. Therefore, helping your project stay on track.

Scane & Sons have done all our groundworks for the last 2 years and Colin, Val & the team are the only company we will use. Colin’s vast knowledge, expertise and his meticulous attention to detail has helped us optimise our builds without a doubt! When he and his team arrive onsite you can walk away with confidence knowing that your job is in the best hands possible!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you build roads for private developments and commercial sites?

Yes. We construct roads for housing estates, driveways, business parks, and infrastructure projects across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Berkshire.

What materials do you use for road surfacing?

We typically use tarmac (asphalt) or concrete, depending on usage, load demands, and your project specifications.

Can you also install drainage alongside road construction?

Absolutely. We can integrate surface water and foul water drainage systems into the roadworks to ensure proper flow and compliance.

How long does road construction take?

Timelines vary based on road size, ground conditions, and access. We always provide a realistic schedule upfront and communicate throughout the job.
