Tarmac Driveways in Fenham
From compact frontages near Two Ball Lonnen to larger plots closer to Benwell, Fenham homeowners come to WM Driveways when they want tarmac driveways installed properly the first time — and want to know exactly who is turning up on day one.
How the work is scoped
Tarmac Driveways works in Fenham generally break down into three phases: careful prep, correct sub-base, and a well-detailed surface. Skip any one and the job looks fine for a summer, then starts to move.
On this page we've set out how WM Driveways approaches tarmac driveway in the NE4 area — the choices you'll actually be making, and the local factors we plan around before a spade goes in the ground.
Options to pick from
Standard black hot-lay tarmac
The workhorse — durable, cost-effective and easy to keep tidy.
Red tinted tarmac
A warmer finish that suits traditional brick properties.
Block-edged tarmac
Neat contrasting block borders to lift a plain tarmac surface.
The advantages worth knowing
Why the area shapes the spec
Fenham is characterised by long residential terraces and semi-detached family homes with modest driveways. That means access is often tight and skip placement needs to be agreed with neighbours. We routinely work across Benwell and West Denton too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of tarmac driveway spec that actually holds up here.

Frequently asked questions
Will you tidy up after the job?+
Always. The site is swept and washed down at the end of each day, and we do a full clear-down and handover walk when the job is finished.
Do you take a deposit?+
A modest deposit secures the start date and covers materials being ordered. The balance is due on completion, once you've walked the job with us.
Can you work around parked cars?+
On Two Ball Lonnen-style layouts we normally coordinate access up front so vehicles can be moved for the working day. It rarely needs more than a short conversation with neighbours.
Can I see previous jobs?+
Yes — we can point out completed work in and around Fenham and neighbouring areas so you can see the finish in person.
What about drainage and SUDS?+
Where required we build in a soakaway or connect to an existing surface water drain — never into foul drainage.
