Surfacing Carlisle, from cycle tracks to car parks.
Carlisle is the biggest city on our patch and some of our proudest work is in it, including the Harraby Cycle Track. Roads, car parks, school and depot pavements, and driveways across the city.
City work has its own disciplines: live traffic, tight programmes, residents to keep informed and reinstatements that have to match what surrounds them. Dinsdale Contracts brings highway-certified crews to Carlisle jobs of every size, with our own planing, haulage and sweeping keeping the programme in one pair of hands.
The Harraby Cycle Track is the kind of contract we like to point at: a public scheme, used daily, where ride quality and drainage falls are the whole point of the surface. The same care goes into a school car park in Stanwix or a driveway in Denton Holme.
For Carlisle businesses, we build and resurface car parks and yards with the traffic management and phasing to keep you trading while the work goes in, including night working where that is the honest answer. For homeowners, driveways get full-depth construction and a written itemised price from a site visit, never from a doorstep.
What we do in Carlisle
Fair questions
What have you built in Carlisle?
The Harraby Cycle Track is the best known public example, alongside commercial and domestic surfacing across the city. References are available on request.
Can you resurface our car park without closing the business?
Usually yes, by phasing the work and using night shifts where needed. We plan the sequence with you before a cone goes down.
Do you cover the villages around Carlisle?
Yes. Dalston, Wetheral, Brampton, Longtown and the rest of the district are all normal working ground for us.
