Tarmac Driveways in Uddingston
South Lanarkshire · Free survey · Fixed written quote
Uddingston is ten minutes from our Hamilton base and one of the areas we work in most. We lay tarmac driveways across Uddingston, Tannochside, Viewpark, Birkenshaw and Bellshill Road — new installations, full resurfacing and targeted repairs where only part of a drive has gone.
A lot of Uddingston housing dates from a period when driveways were laid straight onto whatever was underneath. Those drives crack from the edges inward and sink where cars stand. We dig out to formation, lay a membrane, compact MOT type 1 in layers and finish in two courses of hot-laid tarmac with a restrained edge all the way round.

Short travel means we take on smaller Uddingston jobs other contractors turn down, as well as full driveways.
Honest advice on overlay vs rebuild
If your base is sound we will overlay and save you money. If it is not, we will say so rather than sell you a surface that fails again.
Proper edges and drainage
Kerbed or haunched perimeters and correct falls are what stop an Uddingston drive breaking up in its second or third winter.

How we build a Uddingston 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.
