Belvoir Contractors lays tarmac driveways in Urmston, Davyhulme and Flixton, covering every corner of M41. We work on the bay-fronted semis along Crofts Bank Road, the detached homes near Golden Hill Park and the 1930s houses towards Chassen Park. Homeowners in Stretford call us too, as we are tarmac driveway installers working across this whole side of Trafford. Tarmac gives a smooth, dark, long-lasting surface that handles everyday parking with ease.
We begin with a free site survey to check the levels, the existing base and the drainage. After that you get a written quote at a fixed price, and you are under no obligation. Our employed team carries out all the excavation and surfacing, with no sub-contractors involved, and we hold full public liability insurance for every job across the M41 area.

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

Dropped kerbs in UrmstonA border of block paving restrains the tarmac and frames the drive.

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.
Urmston sits on low, level ground near the Mersey, so tarmac must be laid with a steady fall to a gully, soakaway or planted strip. A red tarmac drive with a buff kerb suits many brick semis here, while black tarmac framed with block paving gives a sharper finish. We also resurface tired drives, fix cracks and potholes, and widen frontages for vans or a second family car.

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.




Most Urmston streets are flat, which makes drainage the detail that matters most. Old drives often slope towards the house or hold puddles by the front step. In Davyhulme, near Trafford General Hospital, many semis have narrow side runs that need widening for a second car, while Flixton homes tend to have deeper gardens with room for a turning area. We also come across original front walls that owners want to keep. Trafford Council handles any dropped kerb application, and we guide you through it.
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.
An Urmston tarmac drive is priced on its size, ground conditions, base depth, edging and drainage. Breaking out old concrete or a front wall adds time, and a wider frontage needs more material. A compact Davyhulme drive is a smaller job than a long Flixton one. We survey without charge and set the price in writing. Ring 0161 841 7075 to arrange your 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.
Yes, for most Urmston homes. Tarmac is strong, smooth and suits both short frontages and longer side drives, including those used by vans. Because the ground is so flat, we design the falls to a soakaway, gully or border so you stay within the permeable front garden rules. If you want a lighter, more decorative look, resin bound or block paving could suit you 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.
