Tarmac Driveways in Altrincham and the surrounding area
Tarmac has always suited the weather we get in Altrincham. It sheds water rather than holding on to it, it has no joints to open up over a wet winter, and there is very little to do to keep it in order. Cost is the other half of the case. Tarmac covers a large frontage for a good deal less than a fully paved driveway, and it goes down quickly, so you are not without a drive for long.
We excavate the driveway, then lay and compact the sub-base before laying the tarmac and rolling it to a smooth, even finish. The falls are set so water runs to the road rather than towards the house, and the edges are finished in block or kerb, which holds the tarmac in place so it does not fret at the perimeter. A block paved border is worth thinking about for that reason as much as for the look of it, since it lifts a plain tarmac drive and locks the edge at the same time.
What’s included
- Excavation and a compacted sub-base

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
We have been laying driveways and surfacing across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire for over 20 years, and we work in Altrincham regularly. You are trusting us to dig up the front of your house, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it helps to know how we work before you commit. We look at the job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you see the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
We are based in Bolton and work right across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Altrincham and the WA14 postcodes are part of that patch, and we are there regularly rather than now and then. The villages around it are covered on the same basis: Dunham Town, High Legh, Over Tabley, Smithy Green and Peover Heath are all within reach.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have spent two decades laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, and we have built our name on quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.
A written, itemised quote
We come out and look at the job first, then put the price in writing, so nothing surprises you once the work starts.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base for the ground we find on your job, not to a one-size dig-out.
The same people throughout
You deal with the same team all the way through, from the quote visit to the day we finish and clear the site.
Domestic and commercial
We take on everything from a single driveway to a full car park, and we price and plan each one the same careful way.
The price
What affects the price
We price every Altrincham job after a free site visit, so what you get is a price for the work in front of us rather than a guess worked out from a description.
The main things that move the figure:
- The area and the depth of excavation needed
- The edging chosen and any kerbing
- Access for the paver, wagons and roller
- Falls, and any new edgings
