Private Roads in Bolton and the North West

Unadopted roads are the responsibility of the people who use them, and they tend to be dealt with only once they are already breaking up. We survey the road, identify whether the problem is the surface or the base beneath it, and price the work accordingly, whether that is patching, surface dressing or a full overlay. Where a road serves several properties we can set the quote out so the cost per property is clear.

We surface and resurface private and unadopted roads of every kind: residential and estate roads, industrial-estate access, and shared drives serving several properties. Whether you are a homeowner, a management company or a developer, we manage the job from survey to completion and set the work out so the cost is clear.

What’s included

  • A survey of the road and the base beneath it
  • Patching, surface dressing or a full overlay as needed
  • Edge detailing and falls
  • A quote set out clearly where several properties share the cost

Why us

Why choose THB Contractors

With over 20 years of experience serving Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, we are a first choice for driveways and surfacing across the region. You are trusting someone to dig up the front of your property, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it is worth knowing how we work before you do. We keep it simple: a proper look before we price, the base built for the ground we actually find, and the same team on the job from the first visit to the last sweep-up.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Two decades laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, with a reputation built on quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.

  • A written, itemised quote

    You get the price in writing after a site visit, so there are no surprises once the job starts.

  • The base done properly

    Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base for the ground we find, not a one-size dig-out.

  • The same people throughout

    You deal with the same team from the quote to the day the job finishes.

  • Domestic and commercial

    From a single driveway to a full car park, priced and planned the same careful way.

The price

What affects the price

Every job is quoted after a free site visit, so the price fits the work in front of us rather than a guess off a description. The main things that move the figure:

  • The length and width of the road
  • Whether the surface or the base has failed
  • Edge work and falls
  • Access and keeping the road usable during works

Common questions

Our road serves several houses. Can you split the cost?

Yes. Where a road serves several properties we can set the quote out so the cost per property is clear.

Do we need to close the road?

Not usually. We plan the works to keep the access usable, with traffic management where it is needed.

Who is responsible for a private road?

The owners or residents it serves, rather than the council. That is why we can set the quote out clearly per property where several homes share it.

Can you deal with potholes and edges too?

Yes. We address the falls, edges and pothole repairs as part of the works so the road is put right, not just topped.

What surface is best for a private road?

Usually tarmac for durability, with surface dressing as a lower-cost maintenance option where the base is sound. We advise at the visit.
