Utility reinstatement is the surfacing work that follows groundworks in or beside a public highway, and it must be completed to NRSWA and SROH (Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways) standards. Lakeside Surfacing delivers compliant utility reinstatement across the UK for utility companies, groundworks contractors, and developers, with documented inspection sign-off and a full guarantee on every completed reinstatement.
We believe utility reinstatement should restore surfaces to a standard that matches or exceeds the surrounding area. From base reconstruction through to final surfacing, we deliver reinstatement works that integrate seamlessly with existing roads, footpaths, and access routes while meeting required specifications.
