Hi. We are looking to have our driveway done with either monoblock or tarmac.
Could anyone please recommend a company who has done a good job for you as we dont know who to go with. Preferably someone who will work in the glasgow area. Many thanks.

    Can't answer your question specifically as I don't live in your area. However, before having mine done, I looked at similar drives in my area over three years old and then asked the house owner who did it.

    Important to look at work over three years old, because then any subsidence will be obvious and that suggests a botched job with not enough attention to the sub layers.

    2yrs ago we got our driveway monoblocked and got 3 prices quoted. We went with a company who were really good and fairly reasonable and they did not take any money until you are happy with the job. We live in lanarkshire and I believe that they are located there. They are called driveways direct. Good luck in finding a good contractor. I found them through recommendations.
