Tarmac Driveways in Bothwell
South Lanarkshire · Free survey · Fixed written quote
Bothwell is on our doorstep. Our yard is in Hamilton, so surveys are quick, start dates are short and plant is on site early. We lay tarmac driveways throughout Bothwell, Bothwell Road, Silverwells, Blantyre Mill and out toward Uddingston and Blantyre.
Bothwell has a mix of large villa frontages and newer estate drives. The villas usually need proper edge kerbing and a deeper build for turning loads; the estate drives are typically too shallow from new and start crazing after a decade. Both get the same treatment from us — excavate, membrane, compact type 1 in layers, then hot-laid base and wearing course.
Why Bothwell homeowners choose TK Driveways
Five minutes from Bothwell
Local means fast surveys, tight start dates and a contractor who is easy to get hold of afterwards.
Villa frontages done properly
Wide entrances, pillars and turning areas are set out carefully so the finished drive lines through with the property.
Repairs as well as new drives
Sunken patches, potholes and failed edges on Bothwell driveways are often a one-day fix rather than a full replacement.

How we build a Bothwell 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.
