We lay tarmac driveways in Hazel Grove for the semis and townhouses along the A6, the family estates near Torkington and the homes off Chester Road and around the station. As tarmac driveway installers across SK7, we are often replacing original concrete drives and creating new off-road parking for busy households who are tired of hunting for a space. Tarmac gives a tough, seamless finish that is good value for wide frontages and long side drives.
Book a free site survey and we will measure, check levels and look at drainage before giving a fixed written price. There is no obligation, and no pushy follow-up calls. All the work is carried out by our own fully insured team, never sub-contractors, and we keep the pavement clear for neighbours, pedestrians and anyone heading for the bus stop on the main road.

Customer opinions matter to us. Most of our work comes from recommendations, and here is what customers say.

Tarmac is quick to lay, tough and good value over a large area. It copes with heavy vehicles, gives a smooth, seamless finish and is easy to maintain.
Many Hazel Grove estates were built with open-plan frontages, and tarmac covers those quickly and evenly. Good finishing touches include a charcoal block border, a buff kerb beside red tarmac, or a sett line where the drive meets the footway. We also resurface worn drives, fill cracks and potholes, and widen parking so a van and the family car both fit off the road.
Want a permeable finish instead? Ask about resin driveways.
Water gets in, freezes and breaks the surface up further.
Once the surface starts to fret, patches rarely last.
Low spots mean the surface or base has sunk.
Old tarmac loses its colour and starts to look worn.




Traffic on the A6 through Hazel Grove is heavy for much of the day, and waiting to reverse out onto it is no fun, so many customers ask for a drive wide enough to turn and leave forwards. Open-plan estates off Chester Road and around Torkington raise a different question: where your drive ends and the neighbour's begins, so we agree the edge line before digging. Land falling towards the brook needs channels to stop runoff. Stockport Council handles dropped kerb applications, and we explain the paperwork.
We also lay tarmac driveways in these nearby areas, with the same team and the same guarantees.

Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
Often, yes. If the existing tarmac is sound and the levels allow, we repair cracks and soft spots, apply a tack coat and lay a new surface course over the top. If it is breaking up, sinking or would end up too high against the house or the kerb, we dig out and start from a proper base.
Tarmac (asphalt) is one of the most recycled construction materials: old surfaces can be planed off and reused in new mixes. It is not permeable, so on a front driveway we make sure rainwater runs to a lawn, border or soakaway rather than onto the road.
A well-laid tarmac driveway typically lasts 12 to 15 years before it needs resurfacing or major repair. Small repairs to cracks may be needed over time, but other than that it needs very little maintenance.
Very easy. A sweep and an occasional jet wash keep it looking good. Keep weeds off the edges and get any cracks sealed early so water cannot get underneath.
Hazel Grove tarmac drive costs depend on size, the amount of old surface to remove, the base depth, edging, drainage and whether a dropped kerb is needed. Creating a turning area so you can leave forwards onto the A6, or widening for a van, also changes the figure. We measure on site and confirm a fixed written price.

No. Our tarmac driveways are always laid by our own qualified and fully insured team. We never use sub-contractors, so the people who survey your drive are the people who build it.
Tarmac is a practical choice for most Hazel Grove homes, especially wide frontages, turning areas and drives used by vans. It is tough, smooth and good value. Where streets slope, we set the falls carefully and lead water to a soakaway or border so the permeable rules are met. If you prefer pattern or a lighter finish, block paving or resin might suit the house better.
In England, a new front driveway over 5 square metres that is not permeable needs planning permission if rainwater runs onto the road. If it drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within your property, it usually does not. We plan the falls and drainage so your new drive stays within the rules.
