Tarmac Surfacing in Bolton and the North West
Tarmac remains the practical choice for large commercial areas. It is hard-wearing, quick to lay and easy to repair in sections later. We lay base, binder and surface courses as the loading requires, roll to a smooth finish, and set the falls so surface water runs off rather than pooling. Line marking and bay layout can be done as part of the same programme once the surface has cured.
Tarmac is a strong, durable surfacing material, which is why it is the usual choice for areas that take heavy traffic, from car parks and forecourts to residential blocks and shop fronts. It also gives a water-resistant surface that sheds water, so it stands up well to the puddles that plague older car parks.
What’s included
- Base, binder and surface courses as the loading needs
- Machine-laid and rolled to a smooth finish
- Falls set for water run-off
- Edge and kerb detailing
- Line marking as part of the same programme

Why choose THB Contractors

We keep it simple: a proper look before we price, the base built for the ground we actually find, and the same team on the job from the first visit to the last sweep-up.

The same people throughout
You deal with the same team from the quote to the day the job finishes.
Domestic and commercial
From a single driveway to a full car park, priced and planned the same careful way.
The price
What affects the price
Every job is quoted after a free site visit, so the price fits the work in front of us rather than a guess off a description. The main things that move the figure:
- The area and the depth of build-up required
- The condition of the existing base
- Kerbing and edging
- Access for the paver, wagons and roller
