Tarmac Driveways Carluke
South Lanarkshire · Free survey · Fixed written quote
TK Driveways lays tarmac driveways, tarmac pathways, car parks and access roads across Carluke and the surrounding area, including Law, Braidwood, Kirkton, Yieldshields and Crossford. We are based in Hamilton, 10 miles away, so Carluke is part of our everyday working patch rather than a job we travel for.
Carluke has a lot of long rural approaches and steading conversions where the drive is measured in tens of metres, not square metres. Those need a heavier build-up and proper cross-fall so water leaves the track rather than running down it. Every Carluke 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
Carluke has a lot of long rural approaches and steading conversions where the drive is measured in tens of metres, not square metres. Those need a heavier build-up and proper cross-fall so water leaves the track rather than running down it. We set excavation depth, drainage and sub-base to suit the site rather than quoting a one-size price over the phone.
Fixed written Carluke 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 Carluke 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.
