What we lay

Driveways, and everything underneath them

Most driveway firms lay driveways. We are a civil engineering contractor that also lays driveways, which means the sub-base under yours is built to the same specification as a road.

Tarmac driveway laid by Tarite at a Birmingham home

Tarmac Driveways

Machine-laid tarmac on a properly excavated and compacted base. The finish you see on our commercial work, at domestic scale.

Block paving driveway

Block Paving & Patios

Block, sett and slab laid on full depth sub-base with proper edge restraints, so the pattern stays true and the edges do not creep.

Drainage and groundworks

Drainage & Groundworks

Surface water dealt with before the surface goes down. Channel drains, soakaways, permeable build-ups and full site levels.

Road surfacing and car parks

Car Parks & Roads

Surfacing, line marking, kerbing and automatic security bollards for commercial sites across the Midlands.

Who trusts us with their surfaces

The drive at home, built by the firm that does the stadium

When a homeowner in Sutton Coldfield asks who else we work for, this is the answer. Same crew, same plant, same standard, whether it is a forecourt or a front garden.

How we build it

Why ours does not sink

A driveway fails from the bottom up. Almost every cracked, dipped, weed-split drive in the Midlands failed because someone saved a day on the excavation.

We dig it out properly

Excavated to depth and the arisings taken away, not raked to the side and buried under your new surface.

Sub-base to road spec

Compacted stone in layers, the same build-up we put under commercial car parks, because that is the work we do all week.

Edges and drainage first

Edge restraints haunched in concrete and the water given somewhere to go, before a single block or tonne of tarmac is laid.

Surface, then sign off

Laid, rolled or jointed, site swept, and we walk it with you before we load up.

"We are so pleased with the work the lads at Tarite have done. We had some ideas for driveway design which they listened to and were able to improve, better than what we envisaged! Everyone we have encountered has been really polite, professional and efficient."

"I employed Tarite Limited to remove an old patio and seating area and replace with a new resin surface. Really happy with both the finish of the surface and the price they quoted."
