Tarmac Driveways in Milngavie
East Dunbartonshire · Free survey · Fixed written quote
Milngavie sits on higher, wetter ground than most of Greater Glasgow, and a lot of the older housing has driveways built on thin sub-bases that never coped with modern car weights. Water sitting on a drive is the single biggest reason Milngavie tarmac fails, so drainage and falls come first on every job we price here.
We install new tarmac driveways, resurface tired ones and repair failed edges throughout Milngavie, Craigton, Clober, Barloch and Mugdock. Full excavation, geotextile membrane, compacted MOT type 1 and a two-course hot-laid tarmac finish is our standard build.
Why Milngavie homeowners choose TK Driveways
Drainage designed first
Higher rainfall and sloping plots mean falls, channel drains and soakaways are engineered in, not bolted on afterwards.
Shared and private access roads
We resurface private lanes and shared driveways as well as single homes, phased so neighbours keep vehicle access.
Local, contactable contractor
We are Hamilton based and work in Milngavie constantly, so we are still here if you ever need us back.

How we build a Milngavie 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.
