Tarmac Driveways in Ashton-under-Lyne and the surrounding area
Tarmac earns its place on an Ashton-under-Lyne driveway on weather and on value. Rain runs off it rather than sitting in it, which counts for a lot over a long wet winter, and there is no pointing to wash out. It is hard-wearing under daily vehicle use, it asks very little in the way of maintenance, and it covers a big area for less than a paved finish.
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
- Tarmac laid and rolled to a smooth finish
- Falls set so water runs away from the house
- Block or kerb edging to stop the edges breaking up
- A clean, even black finish

- 01
Dig out and base

- 02
Lay and roll
We lay the tarmac and roll it to a smooth, even finish with the falls set so water runs off.
- 03
Edge and finish
We finish the edges in block or kerb so the tarmac holds together at the perimeter.

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 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
