We lay tarmac driveways in Stretford for homes right across M32, from the semis off Barton Road and Urmston Lane to the terraces of Gorse Hill and the streets close to Old Trafford. Off-road parking is valuable here, and a machine-laid tarmac surface is a cost-effective way to turn a front garden into a smart, practical space. As local tarmac driveway installers, we also talk through the dropped kerb side of things with you from the start.
Our free site survey in Stretford covers the frontage size, levels, existing surfaces and how water will drain away. We then put a fixed quote in writing, with no obligation to proceed. All work is carried out by our own employed and fully insured team, who keep the pavement clear and the site tidy. We never pass jobs on to sub-contractors.

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.
Stretford's flat ground near the Mersey and Turn Moss means tarmac needs a well-planned fall rather than a deep cut. Practical ideas include a black tarmac drive edged with charcoal blocks, a red tarmac finish to sit against older brick, or a simple concrete kerb for a clean line. We also resurface broken concrete, patch potholes and widen frontages so a van can park clear of the path.
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.




Many Stretford houses were built long before car ownership became normal, so frontages are short and most kerbs are full height. On match days and concert nights around Old Trafford, street parking fills quickly, which is why a driveway is so useful. We see plenty of cracked concrete and paths that tip water back towards the house, so getting the falls right is always the first job. Trafford Council approves dropped kerbs in Stretford, and we explain what the application involves.
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.
Stretford tarmac drive prices depend on the frontage size, whether a wall or hedge comes out, how much old concrete needs breaking up, the edging and any drainage. A dropped kerb, if needed, is a separate council matter we can advise on. We survey and confirm a fixed written price. Call 0161 841 7075 to book a free visit.
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 sensible choice for many Stretford homes, particularly wider semis and shared entries, and it copes with a work van parked every night. The ground is flat, so we fall the drive to a gully or soakaway to satisfy the front garden drainage rules. On very small terrace frontages, block paving can be easier to fit around steps and bays, and resin is a permeable option.
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.
