Tarmac Driveways in Stockport and the surrounding area
Tarmac has stayed a popular driveway surface in Stockport because it answers the two things that usually matter, the weather and the budget. It sheds rain rather than taking it in, and it holds up to cars using it every day of the week. Across a larger frontage it comes in below a fully paved driveway, there is next to no upkeep, and it is laid far quicker than paving.
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

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
You are handing someone the front of your property for a few days, so how they work matters. We look at the job before we price it, we build the base to suit the ground rather than to a set depth, and the team that quotes is the team that lays. That has been the way for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Stockport with it.
We work out of Bolton, covering Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Stockport and the SK1 postcodes fall inside that comfortably, and we are there regularly. Heaton Chapel, Heaton Norris, Edgeley, Davenport and Reddish are covered on the same terms.
Over 20 years’ experience
More than twenty years of driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with a reputation for solid work and a tidy site.
A written, itemised quote
After the visit the price arrives in writing and itemised, so the cost is settled before anyone lifts a spade.
The base done properly
The base is what fails first, so we size the dig-out and the sub-base for the ground in front of us and the weight going on it.
The same people throughout
The same people right through, from the day we price it to the day we sweep up.
Domestic and commercial
From one driveway to a full commercial car park, approached and costed the same way.
The price
What affects the price
Every Stockport quote comes after a free site visit. On a sloping plot the falls and the drainage change the work, and those are things to measure rather than estimate.
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
