Tarmac Driveways in Salford and the surrounding area

Tarmac is the sensible money for a driveway in Salford that has to put up with the weather. It is water resistant, so rain runs off rather than soaking in and working away at the surface, and it takes vehicles in and out every day without breaking up. It also covers a large area for a good deal less than a fully paved drive, and it is laid and rolled in a fraction of the time.

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

Letting a contractor take up the front of your property is worth a few questions first. We price off a visit, we build the base for the ground we actually find rather than to one depth, and the same team sees the job through. That is how we have worked for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Salford included.

We are based in Bolton and cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Salford and the M6 postcodes are close ground for us and we are there regularly. Pendleton, Weaste, Seedley, Irlams o’ th’ Height and Broughton are covered on the same basis.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Over twenty years of driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with a reputation for careful work and clean sites.

  • A written, itemised quote

    The price comes in writing after the visit, itemised, so the figure you agree to is the figure you pay.

  • The base done properly

    Failures start below the surface, so the sub-base is built for the ground we find and the weight it has to take.

  • The same people throughout

    The same people from the quote to the finish, not a crew you meet on day one.

  • Domestic and commercial

    One driveway or a full commercial car park, both planned and costed the same way.

The price

What affects the price

Every Salford quote follows a free site visit. Ground conditions vary street to street round here, and what is under the old surface is what sets the cost of the base.

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 Pendleton?

Yes. As well as Salford itself we cover Pendleton, Weaste, Seedley, Irlams o’ th’ Height, Broughton. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
