Tarmac Driveways in Coatbridge
North Lanarkshire · Free survey · Fixed written quote
We install tarmac driveways across Coatbridge — Whifflet, Townhead, Old Monkland, Kirkshaws, Bargeddie and Glenboig. Residential drives, business yards and small commercial car parks all get the same build: dig out, membrane, compacted MOT type 1, then a base and wearing course of hot-laid tarmac.
Coatbridge's industrial past left plenty of made ground and variable sub-soil, and it shows up as soft spots and settlement under driveways. We dig until we reach something we can compact against rather than laying over a base that will move.
Why Coatbridge homeowners choose TK Driveways
Ground that varies street to street
We check the dig depth on site rather than assuming. Where we hit soft made ground we build it back up with additional type 1 before any tarmac goes down.
Domestic and commercial
From a single-car Coatbridge drive to a unit yard taking delivery vehicles — heavier traffic simply gets a heavier build-up and thicker binder course.
Clean site, tidy finish
Spoil taken away, edges cut straight, gullies protected and the frontage swept before we leave.

How we build a Coatbridge 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.
