Tarmac Driveways in Eccles and the surrounding area
There is a reason so many driveways in Eccles are surfaced in tarmac. It stands up to British weather better than most finishes, shedding rain rather than absorbing it, and it takes cars coming and going all day without giving way. It is easy to look after, it works out cheaper per square metre than a fully paved drive, and the laying is quick, so you have your access back sooner.
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
How we do it
- 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
You are trusting us to dig up the front of your property, or take a car park out of use for a few days. It is worth knowing how we work before that happens: 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. We have been doing it that way for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Eccles included.
We work out of Bolton and cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Eccles and the M30 postcodes fall well inside that, and we are there regularly rather than occasionally. Halebarns, Shelf, Boothtown, Northowram and Ovenden are covered on the same basis, whichever side of the town you happen to be on.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have laid driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for over twenty years, and built a reputation for quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.
A written, itemised quote
After we have seen the job, you get the price in writing, so nothing about the cost changes shape once the work begins.
The base done properly
Surfaces nearly always fail from underneath, so we size and build the base for the ground we actually find rather than digging out to a standard depth.
The same people throughout
You keep the same team throughout, from the person who quotes the job to the people finishing it on the last day.
Domestic and commercial
From one driveway to a full car park, we price and plan the work the same careful way.
The price
What affects the price
Every Eccles quote follows a free site visit. We would rather stand on the job and price the work that is actually in front of us than guess at it 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
