Tarmac Driveways in Oldham and the surrounding area
Tarmac suits an Oldham driveway for the plain reason that it copes with what the winters do. It is water resistant, so rain sheds off instead of working into the surface, and a hard frost has no joints to get into. Beyond that it is simply the practical option: tough under daily traffic, easy to keep clean, cheaper than paving over a large area, and quick enough to lay that you are not without access for long.
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

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
Before you let anyone dig up your frontage it helps to know how they operate. We quote from a proper look at the job, we build the base for the ground that is actually under there, and the people who price it are the people who lay it. That is how it has worked for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Oldham with it.
Our base is Bolton and we cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Oldham and the OL1 postcodes are regular ground, not an occasional trip. Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Lees and Failsworth are covered on the same basis as the town.
Over 20 years’ experience
Over twenty years laying driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with a reputation for work that lasts and sites left clean.
A written, itemised quote
You get the price in writing after we have seen it, itemised, so nothing about the cost changes once the job starts.
The base done properly
Nearly every failure begins below the surface, so the dig-out and sub-base are built for the ground we meet and the traffic it carries.
The same people throughout
The same team from the quote to the finish. No handing over to a crew you have never met.
Domestic and commercial
Driveways and commercial surfacing alike, both costed and planned the same careful way.
The price
What affects the price
Every Oldham quote follows a free site visit. Drainage and the state of what is underneath both move the price, and both need looking at rather than assuming.
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
