Our most requested drive
Tarmac driveways in Tamworth, red or black
Tarmac is the drive we lay most across Tamworth, from Glascote and Wilnecote to Amington, Belgrave and Dosthill. It goes down quickly, takes the weight of cars from day one and looks sharp with a block paved border in charcoal, buff, brindle or red.
We dig out, lay a compacted stone sub-base, set the border on concrete and roll the tarmac smooth. Most drives are finished in two or three days, and every one carries our 10-year guarantee.

New patio
We recently had our driveway done by Unique Driveways and Patios and couldn’t be happier. We dealt directly with Paddy, who was very helpful in suggesting ideas and making the planning process straightforward. We were able to get the work started quickly, and the team showed up on time every day, ready to go. They were friendly and worked incredibly hard, managing to complete a fairly large driveway in just three days. The finished job looks fantastic, and it’s reassuring to know it comes with a 10-year warranty. Would definitely recommend.Read it on Google

Tarmac drive
The team have just finished our new driveway. We chose tarmac with a brick edging. From the initial quote to completed job everyone was so helpful and with years of experience, gave advice we both felt we could trust. They were all so approachable, easy to talk to and happy to explain even the smallest details. They managed to keep everything so clean and tidy throughout the job, amazing! The finished job looks brilliant, exactly what we wanted. Thank youRead it on Google

Indian sandstone patio
Pat and the team have just finished our driveway and patio - they managed to transform our large front gravel driveway, side passage/walkway and large back patio in Indian sandstone - and turned the whole thing around in just 4 days. Amazed by the speed but also the strong attention to detail. The lads were all lovely too. We're really pleased with the finish and they communicated really well throughout. Thanks to the whole team!Read it on Google

New patio
From first meeting Pat I was confident that he listened to my requirements and that his company could deliver the patio I wanted in what was a difficult location due to sloping ground and limited access. Charlie and the team arrived as promised working extremely hard to complete the job exactly to my specifications I have no hesitation in recommending the company and the workers to anyone. They kept me informed and were a pleasure to deal withRead it on Google

New patio
Just had front drive and garden dug up and replaced with a tarmac drive from unique drives patios ltd. Charlie came and quoted us and talked through what we wanted and gave us a no obligation quotation and the price he gave was great. I have seen the quality of their work on a number of other drives over the years down our street ( Telford rd B79 8EY) that charlie and the gang have done and many others in parts of our town working there magic and every one of them looked great. Charlie and the boys completed our drive in 2 days and its changed the look of our property. They cleaned up after themselves as if they hadn't been, and left us with an amazing new drive. Honestly cant fault their work and would have no issues recommending to my freinds and family.Read it on Google

New patio
Had a good quote off Pat for quite a large patio around the perimeter of the garden. They came about 2 weeks later after giving me time to dispose of my old shed and arrived on time. One of them named Charlie, put me in the picture about what they were going to do and was very professional. The 4 of them worked like Trojans all day and you could tell they knew what they were doing. 2 whole days later the job was finished and all mess cleaned up. Would recommend them to anybody.Read it on Google

New driveway
We recently had our driveway redone, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and completed with exceptional attention to detail. The team was punctual, courteous, and highly skilled. They took the time to prepare the surface properly, ensuring a solid foundation, and used top-quality materials that not only look fantastic but will last for years to come. The precision in the finishing touches, from the edges to the smooth, even surface, shows true craftsmanship. What truly stood out was their commitment to customer satisfaction. They kept us informed throughout the process, addressed any concerns promptly, and left the site spotless once the job was done. Our new driveway has completely transformed the look of our home, adding both curb appeal and functionality. If you're looking for a reliable, professional, and skilled team to lay your driveway, look no further. Highly recommended!Read it on Google
