Driveways in Bradford and the surrounding area

Drives fail from below, which is why relaying the top of one is money wasted. We take out the old surface, then build and compact a sub-base to suit the ground we actually find and the loading it has to carry, setting edgings, falls and levels before anything is laid over it. Then you pick the finish, block paving, resin bound or tarmac. On a Bradford frontage that is what decides whether it lasts.

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

Before anyone starts breaking up your frontage it is worth knowing how they go about it. We quote off a visit rather than a description, we build the base for the ground that is actually there, and you deal with the same team start to finish. Over 20 years of doing it that way across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Bradford included.

Our base is in Bolton and we cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire from it. Bradford and the M11 postcodes are well inside that, and we are over this way regularly. Clayton, Openshaw, Beswick, Miles Platting and Newton Heath are covered from the same base as the town itself.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Over two decades laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, and a name built on doing the job properly and leaving the site clean.

  • A written, itemised quote

    You get the cost in writing after the visit, broken down line by line, so there is nothing to argue about later.

  • The base done properly

    Most failures start underneath, so we dig out and build the sub-base around the ground and the traffic, rather than to one depth whatever we find.

  • The same people throughout

    One team from first visit to last. The people who priced your job are the people on it.

  • Domestic and commercial

    Domestic drives and commercial surfacing both, quoted and planned with the same care.

The price

What affects the price

A free site visit comes before every Bradford quote. What the old surface is sitting on makes a real difference to the cost, and that is not something you can tell from the kerb.

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.

Yes. As well as Bradford itself we cover Clayton, Openshaw, Beswick, Miles Platting, Newton Heath. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
