When it comes to creating tough, durable, and weatherproof surfaces, mastic asphalt is the material you can count on. At Bell Asphalt Co., we know this stuff inside and out. Whether you’re a homeowner upgrading your driveway or a business needing sturdy floors for high-traffic areas, we’ve got the skills to get it done right.
Mastic Asphalt is a dense, waterproof mix that stands up to heavy traffic, harsh weather, and moisture. Unlike regular asphalt, it’s void-free, making it incredibly strong and long-lasting. Plus, it’s eco-friendly and requires very little upkeep—perfect for both homes and businesses. Often referred to as the ‘king of waterproofing’ due to its durable, malleability and versatile properties. It has been used for waterproofing for centuries on London’s iconic buildings, even dating back to Roman times.
You can use mastic asphalt almost anywhere. For homes, it’s ideal for flat roofing, driveways, pavements, balconies, walkways, porches, garages, and extensions. It provides a seamless, waterproof finish that handles everything from rain to heavy vehicles. In commercial spaces like car parks, offices, schools, and government buildings, mastic asphalt offers durability, easy maintenance, and a clean, professional look.
It also shines in specialized uses. It’s great for tanking (underground waterproofing), damp proofing to prevent moisture damage, asphalt steps that stay safe and slip-resistant, and asphalt paving grade for roads and industrial spaces. For expert application and superior results, trust the Mastic Asphalt Specialists in London.
