Tarmac Driveways in Middleton and the surrounding area

There is a reason so many driveways in Middleton are surfaced in tarmac. It stands up to the 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 access comes 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

Why us

Why choose THB Contractors

Handing the front of your property to a contractor deserves a question or two first. We quote from a site visit, we build the base for the ground we actually find rather than to a set depth, and the team stays the same from first visit to last. Over 20 years of working that way across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Middleton included.

We are based in Bolton and cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Middleton and the M24 postcodes sit well inside that and we are there regularly. Alkrington, Rhodes, Blackley, Chadderton and Moston are covered on the same basis as the town itself.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    More than twenty years of driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with the work and the tidiness why most jobs come by word of mouth.

  • A written, itemised quote

    The quote is written and itemised once we have seen the job, so the cost is agreed before anything starts.

  • The base done properly

    Most surfaces give way from underneath, so the base is sized for the ground we find and the loading it will carry.

  • The same people throughout

    The same team throughout, from pricing it to sweeping up after.

  • Domestic and commercial

    From one driveway to a commercial car park, costed and planned with equal care.

The price

What affects the price

Every Middleton quote follows a free site visit. Breaking out and carting away an old concrete drive is a real part of the cost, so it gets measured rather than guessed.

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

Common questions

How soon can I drive on new tarmac?

You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a short curing period. We tell you exactly when on the day.

Why do tarmac edges crack?

Usually because the edge was not restrained. We finish tarmac against a block or kerb edge so the perimeter does not fret and break away.

What colours does tarmac come in?

Standard black is the most common, with a red tarmac option available. We go through the choices and edging at the visit.

Do you offer tarmac driveways near Alkrington?

Yes. As well as Middleton itself we cover Alkrington, Rhodes, Blackley, Chadderton, Moston. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
