Patios in Ashton-under-Lyne and the surrounding area

On a sloping plot the levels decide whether a patio works, and the falls decide whether it drains. We excavate, build the base, then set the falls away from the building before laying. An Ashton-under-Lyne patio goes onto a full mortar bed in natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, and we tie it into steps and edging so the change in level is dealt with properly.

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

How we do it

  1. 01

    Set out and dig

    We set the patio out, excavate, and build the base with the falls running away from the house.

  2. 02

    Lay on a full bed

    We lay each slab on a full mortar bed rather than dabs, so nothing rocks or lifts later.

  3. 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

It is reasonable to ask how a contractor works before they dig up your frontage. We price from a proper look at the job, we build the base for the ground that is actually there, and the people who quote are the people who lay it. That is how it has been for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Ashton-under-Lyne with it.

Our base is in Bolton and we work across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Ashton-under-Lyne and the OL6, OL7 and SK16 postcodes are regular ground for us. Dukinfield, Droylsden, Audenshaw, Stalybridge and Mossley are covered on the same basis.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Twenty years and more laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, with a reputation for solid workmanship and clean sites.

  • A written, itemised quote

    You get the cost in writing after we have been out, itemised, so nothing shifts once we begin.

  • The base done properly

    The base is where it starts to go wrong, so we build it for the ground we meet rather than a standard dig-out.

  • The same people throughout

    One team from the quote through to the finish, with nobody handed on.

  • Domestic and commercial

    Driveways and commercial surfacing both, planned and priced the same careful way.

The price

What affects the price

A free site visit comes before every Ashton-under-Lyne quote. Gradient changes how the work has to be done, and it is not something to price 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

Common questions

Why do patios lift and rock?

Almost always a thin bed and poor falls. We lay on a full mortar bed with the falls set properly, which is what stops slabs rocking and holding water.

Can you lay porcelain?

Yes. Porcelain needs the right bed and priming to bond, which we do as standard, so it lasts as well as it looks.

What materials can you lay?

Indian sandstone, porcelain, natural stone and block paving are all options. Which suits depends on the look, the budget and how the patio will be used — we talk it through at the visit.
