Tarmac Driveways in Paisley
Renfrewshire · Free survey · Fixed written quote
We cover Paisley and the wider Renfrewshire area for tarmac driveways — Ralston, Hawkhead, Foxbar, Glenburn, Elderslie, Linwood, Renfrew, Johnstone and Erskine. New drives, full resurfacing and repairs to surfaces that have started to break up.
Paisley has a real mix of stock: Victorian sandstone frontages with narrow shared approaches, post-war semis with short drives, and newer estates with block-set aprons. Each needs a slightly different approach at the edges and the join to the pavement, and that detail is what makes a tarmac drive look right rather than merely new.
Why Paisley homeowners choose TK Driveways
Neat junctions with pavements and aprons
Cut lines, kerb haunching and a level, well-formed join to the footway — the details that stop a new drive looking like a patch.
Drainage designed in
Renfrewshire gets its share of rain. Falls, channel drains and soakaways are specified at the survey, not improvised on the day.
Fixed price, no add-ons
Excavation, tipping, membrane, sub-base, edging and both tarmac courses are itemised in the written Paisley quote.

How we build a Paisley 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.
