Tarmac Driveways Blantyre
South Lanarkshire · Free survey · Fixed written quote
TK Driveways lays tarmac driveways, tarmac pathways, car parks and access roads across Blantyre and the surrounding area, including High Blantyre, Auchinraith, Priory Bridge, Springwells and Hunthill. We are based in Hamilton, 3 miles away, so Blantyre is part of our everyday working patch rather than a job we travel for.
Blantyre sits on former colliery ground and a fair number of drives run downhill towards the house. Falls, edge restraint and a channel drain at the threshold matter more here than the tarmac itself. Every Blantyre driveway is dug out to firm ground, membraned, built up in compacted MOT type 1 and finished in hot-laid tarmac with a restrained edge, so it survives Scottish winters instead of crazing in its second year. You get a measured, itemised written price after a free survey — no day rates, no deposit for materials and no surprises on the invoice.

Built for the ground we find
Blantyre sits on former colliery ground and a fair number of drives run downhill towards the house. Falls, edge restraint and a channel drain at the threshold matter more here than the tarmac itself. We set excavation depth, drainage and sub-base to suit the site rather than quoting a one-size price over the phone.
Fixed written Blantyre prices
Excavation, tipping, sub-base, edging, drainage and tarmac depth are all itemised in your quote before anyone lifts a spade.

How we build a Blantyre tarmac driveway
1. Free site survey
We measure the area, check levels, ground conditions and drainage, then price it properly.
2. Excavation & disposal
The old surface and sub-soil are dug out to the depth the ground requires and taken away.
3. Membrane & MOT type 1
A geotextile membrane goes over the formation, then MOT type 1 compacted in layers with a roller.
4. Edging & kerbing
Every perimeter is kerbed or haunched so the tarmac edge cannot spread or crumble.
5. Base & wearing course
Hot-laid tarmac in two courses, rolled to a dense, even finish with the correct falls.
6. Sign-off & clean-up
Site swept, spoil removed, and we walk the finished drive with you before we leave.
