Our Story

25 Years Of Quality Service

Welcome to Arbuckle McLean Ltd, West Central Scotland's premier tarmacadam surfacing, reinstatement, and relaying specialists. We are a family-run business with over 25 years of experience working with major utility companies, energy companies, and local councils.

Whether you need a large commercial area reinstated, a brand new driveway, a farm road re-laid, or an upgraded vehicle parking area, we'll be happy to help. Our fully qualified and industry-trained team will work safely and diligently to ensure you are 100% satisfied with the end product.

Although we primarily operate across the central belt of Scotland, we regularly work throughout Scotland and the Borders - distance is no object!

Driveways

One of the most common areas we work in is pothole repairs. This includes repairing the most common issues where there is high vehicle traffic causing potential significant damage to vehicles and even pedestrians (trips and falls are a real risk to local authorities!). This includes areas such as private roads, shopping centre walkways, farm roads, car parks etc.

Resurfacing

We regularly undertake all larger resurfacing works including roads, pavements, pathways, farm roads, driveways, car parks and utility reinstatement works. For example this part of our service is provided to customers such as large utility companies, local authorities, small business owners, industrial units, sports clubs etc.

Grab Hire

We also offer grab hire usually used for the removal of large volumes of earth for domestic landscaping projects. In our experience this is definitely much more cost-effective than skip hire in terms of tonnage that needs to be removed. Contact us now for a no-obligation quote.

Road Planning

Road surface and this avoids the need for costly excavation work. The damaged road surface is removed using a planning machine, thus allowing the new surface to be directly overlaid onto the sub layers below.

I recently had my driveway tarred with borders. I have to give this company a great big thankyou & cannot praise them enough. Nothing was a bother, their customer service before, during & after was second to none. It's a long long time since I dealt with such a customer facing company. I had absolutely no issues & no hassle The driveway is perfect & everyone from the company, that I dealt with from getting a quote, getting the work done, ensuring I was happy etc. were very professional, polite & friendly. n Very tidy workers. Value for money. I thoroughly recommend this company.

A fantastic job on our new driveway. Very professional from Mark's initial visit for the quote to the job being finished. The guys took just 3 days to complete the job, start to finish, removing everything and leaving a very well-finished driveway with no mess. We had a little hiccup with our broadband cable (which wasn't their fault), but Steve was straight on the phone to let me know and even very apologetic for the disruption. Payment was not asked for until the job was complete and we were 100% happy with the job. Definitely would recommend them.

I recently had my driveway done by this company and I couldn’t be happier with the work carried out. Throughout the entire process, I was kept fully informed about what they were going to do and Steve constantly checked in to ensure we were happy with decisions being made and with the progress of the work. They arrived exactly when they said they would, and all of the workers were polite, professional, and helpful. Another thing I really appreciated was that no money changed hands until the work was completed and we were entirely happy with the job. I would thoroughly recommend this com
