Tarmac Driveways in Bolton and the surrounding area
For a driveway that has to put up with the weather we get in Bolton, tarmac is the sensible money. It is water resistant, so rain runs off rather than soaking in and working away at the surface, and it takes vehicles in and out every day without breaking up. It also covers a large area for a good deal less than a fully paved drive, and it is laid and rolled in a fraction of the time.
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.

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
We have spent over 20 years laying driveways and surfacing across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and we run the business from Chorley Old Road. You are trusting us to dig up the front of your property, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it is worth knowing how we work. We look at the job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you get the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
Bolton is where we are based, at 67 Chorley Old Road. From here we cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, so the BL1 postcodes are on the doorstep rather than a trip out. Harwood, Tottington, Summerseat, Ramsbottom and Horwich are all covered alongside the town itself.
Over 20 years’ experience
Twenty years on, we are still laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, with a name built on quality workmanship and jobs left tidy.
A written, itemised quote
You get the price in writing after we have been out to see the job, so there are no surprises once we start.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath, so we build the base for the ground we actually find rather than digging every job out to the same depth.
The same people throughout
The team who price the job are the team who carry it out, so you are dealing with the same people from start to finish.
Domestic and commercial
A single driveway and a full car park get the same treatment from us: we price them carefully and plan them before anyone turns up.
The price
What affects the price
We come out and quote every Bolton job after a free site visit, so the price fits the work in front of us rather than a guess made off 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
