Can you lay tarmac in the rain? Usually, yes. Why standing water, not rain, stops a surfacing job, who makes the call and what to ask first.
Tarmac and asphalt are the same material in the UK today. Where the names come from, the asphalt types you'll be quoted for, and what to ask for.

HAUC develops the codes behind UK street works but does not issue or enforce them. Which reinstatement standards are law, and how authorities check them.
Reinstatement works meaning in UK highway and utility work: the NRSWA duty, the SROH standard, and interim vs permanent reinstatement explained.
