Tarmac Driveways in Glasgow West End
Glasgow · Free survey · Fixed written quote
The West End is a different job from a suburban driveway. Access is through lanes, parking is permit-controlled, frontages are short and shared, and the ground underneath is often made up of decades of old backfill and buried services. We work in Hyndland, Dowanhill, Kelvinside, Broomhill, Partickhill, Jordanhill and Hillhead and plan every job around access before a machine leaves the yard.
As well as private driveways we resurface mews lanes, shared back courts, communal parking areas and tenement bin access routes. Everything is dug out properly, membraned, built up in compacted MOT type 1 and finished in hot-laid tarmac, with hand-laying and barrow runs where a lorry simply cannot get close.
Why Glasgow West End homeowners choose TK Driveways
Tight access is normal for us
Small plant, hand-lay crews and phased tip runs mean narrow West End lanes are not a problem.
Shared and communal areas
Back courts, mews and residents' parking are priced per square metre and phased so vehicles keep access.
Careful around old services
Shallow gas, water and cable runs are common here — we hand-dig anything suspect rather than risk a strike.

How we build a Glasgow West End 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.
