What We Install
We install four types of driveway surface across Oldham and the surrounding area. Not sure which is right for you? We'll advise at the free site survey.
The most popular driveway surface in Oldham — hard-wearing, fully repairable, and available in dozens of colours and patterns including herringbone, stretcher bond and feature circles. Individual blocks can be replaced without disturbing the whole surface, making repairs simple and cost-effective for the life of the driveway.
Block Paving OldhamResin bound driveways are fully permeable, meaning surface water drains through the surface rather than running off — usually satisfying planning requirements without any application. The smooth, stone-aggregate finish looks sleek on modern Oldham properties, and with no loose stones or weeds to contend with, it's genuinely low-maintenance.
Resin Driveways OldhamTarmac is the most cost-effective driveway surface available and can be installed faster than any other option — often in a single day. Modern tarmac driveways can be finished with a range of edging treatments and decorative borders, and when laid on a correctly specified sub-base they provide a durable, low-maintenance surface for 15–20 years.
Tarmac Driveways OldhamPattern imprinted concrete — sometimes called stamped concrete or decorative concrete — offers the look of block paving, cobblestones or natural stone at a lower price point. Coloured and patterned before it cures, it creates a seamless, low-joint surface that's popular in Oldham for both driveways and patios. We seal all our PIC installations for long-term colour retention.
PIC OldhamWhy Choose Us in Oldham
We've been laying driveways across Oldham and the wider Greater Manchester area for over 15 years. That means we know the area well — the mix of terraced and semi-detached housing across Chadderton and Royton, the larger properties around Uppermill and Saddleworth, the practical requirements of Oldham's often steep or awkward access points.
Every driveway we lay starts with a proper sub-base. Compacted MOT Type 1, assessed to the correct depth for your specific ground conditions. It's the most important part of any driveway — and the part most likely to be skimped on by contractors cutting corners. We won't.

Serving Oldham
We work across the whole of the Oldham metropolitan borough, taking on driveway installations of all sizes and surface types. Whether you're in the town centre or out in Saddleworth, we provide the same service — free site survey, written quote, quality installation, 10-year guarantee.
Chadderton and Royton are two of our busiest areas in Oldham, with a high density of semi-detached and terraced properties where a new or replaced driveway makes an immediate difference to both kerb appeal and practicality. We install block paving, resin and tarmac across both areas and are familiar with the typical ground conditions and access challenges found here.
The Shaw and Crompton area has a mix of older terraced streets and newer housing developments, both of which we service regularly. For newer builds and contemporary properties, resin bound and smooth tarmac finishes are popular; for period properties, block paving or pattern imprinted concrete tends to give the best result.
Failsworth and Hollinwood sit on the border between Oldham and Manchester, and we work across both regularly. These are areas with a lot of 1930s semi-detached properties where the original front garden has often been concreted over — and where a proper block paving or resin driveway represents a significant upgrade.
The Saddleworth area — including Uppermill, Greenfield, Delph and Dobcross — has larger properties and more varied terrain. We're experienced working on steeper or awkward sites and can advise on drainage solutions appropriate for the elevated ground found across much of Saddleworth. Block paving and natural-look resin surfaces are particularly popular here given the character of the properties.
Lees and Springhead are quieter residential areas east of Oldham town centre where we carry out a steady volume of driveway work. We cover the full OL4 postcode area and are happy to provide references from customers in these neighbourhoods.
We also carry out driveway repairs and relay across all of Oldham. For block paving, individual blocks can often be lifted and replaced without disturbing the whole surface. For tarmac, localised patches, edge repairs and resurfacing are all options. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or full replacement is the better investment for your specific situation.

Costs depend on surface type and size. Tarmac starts from around £30–£50/m², resin bound from £40–£80/m², block paving from £50–£120/m², and pattern imprinted concrete from £50–£90/m². A typical 40m² driveway would cost £1,200–£4,800 depending on material. We provide free, itemised quotes for all Oldham properties with no obligation.
Most driveways in Oldham don't require planning permission. Permeable surfaces — including resin bound and permeable block paving — generally require no permission regardless of size, as surface water drains naturally through them. For non-permeable surfaces over 5m², water must drain to a lawn, border or soakaway rather than the road. We'll advise on the right approach at the free site survey.
Tarmac driveways typically take 1–2 days. Resin bound driveways take 1–2 days. Block paving takes 2–4 days depending on size and pattern complexity. Pattern imprinted concrete takes 2–3 days plus curing time before the driveway can be driven on. We'll give you a clear confirmed programme with your written quote.
It depends on your property, budget and priorities. Block paving suits period properties, is fully repairable and lasts 20–25 years. Resin bound looks modern, is fully permeable and genuinely low-maintenance. Tarmac is the most affordable and quickest to install. Pattern imprinted concrete gives a decorative finish at a mid-range price point. We'll recommend the right option for your specific Oldham property at the free site survey.
