Tarmac Driveways in Standish and the surrounding area
Tarmac suits a Standish driveway for the plain reason that it copes with our weather. It is water resistant, so rain sheds off the surface instead of working into it, 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 a fully paved drive across 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.

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
You are trusting us to dig up the front of your property, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it is worth knowing how we work before you book anything. We have been at it for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Standish included. We take a proper look before we price, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and the same team is on the job from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
Standish and the WN6 postcodes are regular ground for us. We are based in Bolton, and the area we work covers Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, which puts the villages either side of Standish inside it as well. Wrightington Bar, Eccleston, Newburgh, Mawdesley, Pinfold and New Lane are all covered.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have laid driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for over twenty years, and we have earned a reputation for quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.
A written, itemised quote
You get the price in writing once we have seen the job, so there is nothing to surprise you after the work starts.
The base done properly
Because most surfaces fail from underneath, we build the base for the ground we find on site instead of a one-size dig-out.
The same people throughout
You deal with the same team the whole way through, from the visit where we quote to the day we pack up.
Domestic and commercial
We give a single driveway the same planning and pricing as a full car park, so the small jobs are no less carefully run.
The price
What affects the price
We do not price a Standish job off a description. We come out, look at it, and quote from what is actually there, and the site visit costs you nothing.
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
