Stardom Ltd provides essential road surfacing and base construction services for sports and leisure facilities across Sunderland and the wider Tyne and Wear region. Established in 1993 as The Surfacing Specialists, the company operates from its base at Trident Business Park in Nuneaton, delivering high-performance asphalt solutions to the North East. The company serves the entire Sunderland City Council area, covering postcodes SR1, SR2, SR3, and SR4, with logistical access facilitated by the A19, A1, A690, and A183. Local authorities and community groups in the city frequently invest in upgrading recreational infrastructure, requiring precise engineering for facilities such as 3G football pitches, multi-use games areas, and padel courts. Stardom Ltd supports these initiatives by constructing the critical asphalt base layers that ensure longevity and performance for synthetic surfaces. The company's presence in Nuneaton allows for efficient transport of heavy machinery to the region, ensuring that projects in Sunderland benefit from the same technical standards applied to strategic road networks. This capability is vital for maintaining the quality of leisure infrastructure in a city with a strong sporting heritage.

What We Offer in Sunderland

The core of Stardom Ltd's sports pitch offering involves the precision laying of engineered asphalt bases using a fleet of Vögele track pavers. These machines, part of the Wirtgen Group, are the global standard for highway-class surfacing and are essential for the tight tolerances required by sports surface installers. The fleet includes a Super 1800-5 capable of 10m widths and 700t/hr output, a Super 1803-3i for larger areas, and a compact Super 1303-3i midi paver for smaller projects like padel courts or tennis courts. Stardom constructs the sub-base and asphalt layers for 3G pitches, MUGAs, and all-weather surfaces, working directly with leading suppliers such as leading sports surface contractors. The company's ISO 9001 quality management certification ensures that every layer meets strict specifications for drainage, compaction, and smoothness. By using track pavers, Stardom eliminates the risk of wheel marks and ensures a perfectly flat surface, which is critical before the final synthetic turf or coating is applied. This technical approach guarantees that the finished facility can withstand heavy use while providing the consistent ball roll and player safety demanded by modern sports standards.
