Tarmac Driveways in Wythenshawe and the surrounding area
On the wide frontages around Wythenshawe, tarmac takes some beating on value. It costs less per square metre than a fully paved finish, it is laid and rolled quickly, and it is hard-wearing enough to take cars in and out every day for years. It copes with the weather well too, shedding rain rather than holding it, with no joints to open up and very little to maintain.
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

How we do it
- 01
Dig out and base
We excavate, then lay and compact a sub-base sized for the driveway and the traffic.
- 02
Lay and roll
We lay the tarmac and roll it to a smooth, even finish with the falls set so water runs off.
- 03
Edge and finish
We finish the edges in block or kerb so the tarmac holds together at the perimeter.

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
It is reasonable to want to know how a contractor works before they take your drive up. We price after seeing the job, we build the base for the ground we find rather than a standard dig, and the same team sees it through from quote to finish. Over 20 years of that across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Wythenshawe included.
We are a Bolton firm covering Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and Wythenshawe sits well within it. The M23 postcodes are somewhere we work regularly, and so are Baguley, Northenden, Sharston, Benchill and Woodhouse Park, all covered from the same base.
Over 20 years’ experience
Twenty years and more of driveways, patios and commercial surfacing in the North West, with most of the work still coming through recommendation.
A written, itemised quote
The quote is written and itemised once we have stood on the job, so the number does not shift once we start.
The base done properly
Surfaces go from underneath, so the sub-base is built for the ground and the loading instead of a one-depth dig-out.
The same people throughout
You keep the same team throughout, from the first visit to the last brush down.
Domestic and commercial
A single drive or a commercial yard, both planned and priced with the same care.
The price
What affects the price
A free site visit comes first on every Wythenshawe job. Area drives a lot of the cost, and so does what we find when the old surface comes off, so we price from the ground rather than a guess.
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
