Patios in Altrincham and the surrounding area
Slabs that rock underfoot and lift at the corners are a patio built on a thin bed with the falls set wrong. Those two things cause almost all of it, so we set both properly before anything is laid. We build your Altrincham patio on the same principles as a driveway: excavate, build the base, set the falls away from the building, then lay the slabs. You choose natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, and we can tie the patio in with steps and edging.
A well-built patio gives you extra outdoor living space and somewhere to relax, whether that is a family barbecue or a quiet corner of the garden. We lay patios in Indian sandstone, porcelain and block paving, chosen with you to suit the house, and a good one adds real value as well as kerb appeal.
What’s included
- Excavation and a compacted base
- Falls set away from the building
- Slabs laid on a full mortar bed
- Pointing, edging and any steps
- Natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain
How we do it
- 01
Set out and dig
We set the patio out, excavate, and build the base with the falls running away from the house.
- 02
Lay on a full bed
We lay each slab on a full mortar bed rather than dabs, so nothing rocks or lifts later.
- 03
Point and finish
We point the joints, finish the edges, and tie the patio into steps as needed.

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
We have been laying driveways and surfacing across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire for over 20 years, and we work in Altrincham regularly. You are trusting us to dig up the front of your house, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it helps to know how we work before you commit. We look at the job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you see the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
We are based in Bolton and work right across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Altrincham and the WA14 postcodes are part of that patch, and we are there regularly rather than now and then. The villages around it are covered on the same basis: Dunham Town, High Legh, Over Tabley, Smithy Green and Peover Heath are all within reach.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have spent two decades laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, and we have built our name on quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.
A written, itemised quote
We come out and look at the job first, then put the price in writing, so nothing surprises you once the work starts.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base for the ground we find on your job, not to a one-size dig-out.
The same people throughout
You deal with the same team all the way through, from the quote visit to the day we finish and clear the site.
Domestic and commercial
We take on everything from a single driveway to a full car park, and we price and plan each one the same careful way.
The price
What affects the price
We price every Altrincham job after a free site visit, so what you get is a price for the work in front of us rather than a guess worked out from a description.
The main things that move the figure:
- The paving chosen (porcelain and natural stone differ from concrete)
- The area, and any steps or level changes
- Excavation and disposal
- Access to the rear of the property
