Trading-centre carriageway surfacing
Asphalt concrete laid over a prepared and primed base through an active trading centre, with shoulder gravelling, edge control and traffic kept moving past the paving front.
No stock imagery anywhere on this page. Every picture below was taken on a Ragmah contract, mid-works or at handover.
Refurbishment of a working council building. Scaffold raised against the front elevation for roof edge and fascia repair, facade making good and external redecoration, with the public entrance kept open behind taped barriers, cones, warning boards and marshals throughout.

The same class of work at handover: sealed carriageway, formed shoulders and drainage falls carrying water off the running surface.
Bulk fill placed and rolled in layers to form a truck-bearing yard alongside a new steel-framed warehouse.
Loader work shaping fill to formation level across an industrial plot while the steel frame went up behind it.
Compaction verified on the platform before the next layer went in, with results recorded against the location and date.
Pipe culverts bedded and surrounded, then a hand-packed stone headwall and apron built to take the discharge without scouring the embankment behind it.
A blocked watercourse reopened by tracked excavator, with arisings placed clear of the channel to stop them washing straight back in.
Carriageway shaped to camber and a side drain cut to grade through a live trading centre, keeping shop frontages accessible.
Hardcore, polythene and mesh set out, then concrete batched on site and placed in a continuous pour to a controlled fall.
Pump access brought in for a raised deck where the site had no crane route, with formwork and propping checked before placing.
Columns, suspended slabs and balcony edges cast and stripped, with a decorative breeze-block stair screen closing the gable.
Stone walling brought up to ring beam, then wall plates and trusses set and braced ready for sheeting.
The same building carried through render, screed, joinery and painting, with the apron, steps and compound levels finished before handover.
Finished elevation, painted plinth, apron cast to fall away from the walls and the compound graded and cleared.
Propping and remedial render on an existing arched structure, corrected before finishes were allowed anywhere near it.
We can arrange a visit to a live Ragmah site or a completed handover near you, so you can judge the work rather than the photographs.
