Tarmac Driveways in Urmston and the surrounding area
If you want a driveway in Urmston that copes with the weather without costing a fortune to cover, tarmac is the usual answer. It is water resistant, so rain runs off instead of soaking in, and it has no joints to open up or weeds to push through. It is tough under daily vehicle use, needs very little looking after, and it goes down far quicker than a paved drive of the same size.
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
You are handing someone the front of your property to dig up, or a car park to take out of use for a few days, so it is worth knowing how we work before you decide. We have been doing this for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and Urmston is part of that. We look at the job before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you see the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
Urmston is one of the towns we cover regularly, and the M41 postcodes with it. We are based in Bolton and work out across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, which brings Heatley, Higher Whitley, Anderton, Bate Heath and Arley into the same area as the town itself.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have been laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for twenty years, and our reputation comes from quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.
A written, itemised quote
We give you the price in writing after we have visited the site, so nothing unexpected turns up once the work begins.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath, so we build the base around the ground we find on your job instead of one standard dig-out.
The same people throughout
You deal with the same team from the quote right through to the day the job is finished.
Domestic and commercial
We take on single driveways and full car parks alike, and we price and plan both with the same care.
