Tarmac Driveways in Stretford and the surrounding area
Tarmac has stayed a popular driveway surface in Stretford because it deals with the two things that matter most, the weather and the budget. It sheds water rather than taking it in, and it holds up to cars using it every day of the week. Across a larger frontage it costs less than a fully paved driveway, there is next to no maintenance to think about, 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
- 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
Stretford sits inside the patch we have covered for over 20 years, laying driveways and surfacing across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. You are trusting someone to dig up the front of your property, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so you should know how we work before you commit to anything. We look at the job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you have the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
We are a Bolton firm working across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and Stretford is well inside that. tarmac driveway work in the M32 postcodes is something we take on regularly, and the same goes for Little Bollington, Lostock Gralam, Kelsall, Halewood and Alvanley, which are covered from the same base.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have spent two decades laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, and we have built our reputation on quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.
A written, itemised quote
We write the price down after the site visit and hand it to you, so the job starts with no surprises in it.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base for the ground we actually find, rather than giving every job an identical dig-out.
The same people throughout
From the quote to the last day on site, you deal with the same team.
Domestic and commercial
We price and plan a single driveway the same careful way as a full car park, whatever the size of the job.
The price
What affects the price
Every Stretford job gets a free site visit before we quote it, so the price you are given fits the work we can see rather than a guess off a description.
