Driveways in Ashton-under-Lyne and the surrounding area

A gradient works on a drive from both directions, the weight of a car climbing it and the water running off it. We dig out, lay and compact a sub-base built for the ground and the loading, then set the edging, falls and levels so the water goes where it should before any surface is laid. You choose block paving, resin bound or tarmac for an Ashton-under-Lyne drive.

A well-designed driveway is the first thing anyone sees, and it sets the tone for the whole property. We help you create one to suit the house, using quality materials and getting the detail right, whether that is block paving, resin bound, or tarmac finished with a paved border.

What’s included

  • Excavation of the existing surface and muck-away
  • A compacted sub-base sized for the ground and the traffic
  • Edge restraints and kerbing set to line and level
  • Falls set before the surface goes down
  • Your choice of block paving, resin bound or tarmac finish

Why us

Why choose THB Contractors

It is reasonable to ask how a contractor works before they dig up your frontage. We price from a proper look at the job, we build the base for the ground that is actually there, and the people who quote are the people who lay it. That is how it has been for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Ashton-under-Lyne with it.

Our base is in Bolton and we work across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Ashton-under-Lyne and the OL6, OL7 and SK16 postcodes are regular ground for us. Dukinfield, Droylsden, Audenshaw, Stalybridge and Mossley are covered on the same basis.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Twenty years and more laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, with a reputation for solid workmanship and clean sites.

  • A written, itemised quote

    You get the cost in writing after we have been out, itemised, so nothing shifts once we begin.

  • The base done properly

    The base is where it starts to go wrong, so we build it for the ground we meet rather than a standard dig-out.

  • The same people throughout

    One team from the quote through to the finish, with nobody handed on.

  • Domestic and commercial

    Driveways and commercial surfacing both, planned and priced the same careful way.

The price

What affects the price

A free site visit comes before every Ashton-under-Lyne quote. Gradient changes how the work has to be done, and it is not something to price from a description.

The main things that move the figure:

  • The size of the driveway and how much has to be dug out
  • Access for machinery and where the spoil can go
  • The finish you choose and the base the ground needs
  • Whether new edgings or kerbing are part of the job

Common questions

Which finish should I choose?

It depends on the look you want, the budget and the ground. We go through block paving, resin and tarmac at the visit and tell you what suits, rather than pushing one finish.

Can you lay over my existing driveway?

Only where the base underneath is sound. Laying over a failing base is the main reason a driveway breaks up early, so we check it first and tell you honestly.

How long does a driveway take?

Most domestic driveways are a few days depending on size, the finish and the weather. You get a realistic duration with the quote.

Do you offer driveways near Dukinfield?

Yes. As well as Ashton-under-Lyne itself we cover Dukinfield, Droylsden, Audenshaw, Stalybridge, Mossley. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
