Can anyone recommend a company for extending a tarmac drive.
Wanting to get rid of that nice green stuff in front of the house as the lad's coming upto 17 next year and will want to park his motor off the road.

You could try Hillsborough Surfacing (they are in Yellow Pages). I have seen their work and it's really good, including the all important sub-base and the preparation work. :thumbsup:

Misterm, as someone who works in the asphalt industry, make sure you get to see other examples of there work.

Feel free to pm me if you want to know what materials they should use and what depths they should be layed at.
You could have a look at the QPA website, they also have advise about how drives should be constructed.

I've had dealings with Saxby and yes they are pretty good, although I dont know if they do drives, most of the things I've seen them do are quite large jobs, ie carparks etc.

Boosh: I think Never Wrong may having been taking the p@@s
