Tarmac Driveways in Leyland and the surrounding area
Tarmac earns its place on a Leyland 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, with far less time spent laying it.
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

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
We have worked across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire for over 20 years, and Leyland is a regular stop for our driveway and surfacing work. 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 fair to want to know how we work first. We look properly before we price, we build the base around the ground we actually find, and the same team stays with the job from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
From our base in Bolton we cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and Leyland is one of the Lancashire towns we are in regularly. That takes in the PR25 postcodes and the areas around them: Farington, Bamber Bridge, Buckshaw Village and Lostock Hall are all part of the same run for us.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have spent twenty years laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, and we are known for quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.
A written, itemised quote
We put the price in writing after the site visit, so you are not caught out by anything once the job is under way.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base to suit the ground we find rather than handing every job the same dig-out.
The same people throughout
You are not passed around. The same team handles your job from the quote through to the day it finishes.
Domestic and commercial
We give a single driveway the same care we give a full car park, both in how we price it and how we plan the work.
The price
What affects the price
We quote your Leyland job once we have been out to see it, and the visit costs you nothing. The price then matches the work in front of us instead of 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
