Tarmac Driveways in Chorley and the surrounding area
Tarmac is a practical choice for a Chorley driveway, mostly because of what our winters do to a surface. It resists water instead of letting it in, there are no joints for a frost to get into, and keeping it looking right takes almost no work. The cost side is just as straightforward. A large frontage in tarmac comes in below a fully paved driveway, and the laying is quick, so the disruption is short.
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
You are trusting someone 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 before you decide. We have been laying driveways and surfacing for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and Chorley is well within our patch. We look at the job 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.
Our base is in Bolton, and from there we work across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Chorley sits on the Lancashire side of that, and the PR7 postcodes are somewhere we are back at regularly. Coppull, Coppull Moor, Appley Bridge, Bryn Gates and Hindley are covered too, so tarmac driveway work in the villages is no different to a job in the town.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have been laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for twenty years, and our reputation rests on quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.
A written, itemised quote
We visit the site, then put the price in writing. You know what the job costs before it starts, and nothing lands on you later.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath, which is why we build the base for the ground we find instead of giving every job the same dig-out.
The same people throughout
You deal with the same team right through, from the quote to the day the job finishes.
Domestic and commercial
We treat a single driveway and a full car park the same way, pricing and planning both with the same care.
The price
What affects the price
Before we price anything in Chorley we come out and look, and the site visit is free. That way the quote fits the work in front of us rather than a guess 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
