Block Paved Driveways in Bolton and the North West
Block paving gives you a hard-wearing driveway that can be lifted and relaid in sections if you ever need access underneath. We set the falls, install edge restraints and lay to the pattern you choose, then compact and joint the blocks. There is a wide choice of block size, colour and laying pattern, and we bring samples to the quote visit so you can see them against the house.
Block paving is one of the most popular choices for a reason: it is cost-effective, low maintenance and can be laid in a wide range of patterns, colours and finishes to suit your property. If a block is ever stained or damaged, it can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the rest of the drive.
What’s included
- Excavation and a compacted sub-base
- Edge restraints haunched in concrete
- Blocks laid to your chosen pattern and colour
- Whacked down and kiln-dried sand jointed
- A choice of block size, colour and laying pattern
How we do it
- 01
Survey and samples
We measure up and bring block samples so you can see the colour and pattern against the house.
- 02
Base and edges
We dig out, lay and compact the sub-base, and set the edge restraints to line and level.
- 03
Lay, compact and joint
We lay to pattern, compact the blocks, then brush in the jointing sand and finish the edges.

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
With over 20 years of experience serving Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, we are a first choice for driveways and surfacing across the region. You are trusting someone to dig up the front of your property, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it is worth knowing how we work before you do. We keep it simple: a proper look before we price, the base built for the ground we actually find, and the same team on the job from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
Over 20 years’ experience
Two decades laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, with a reputation built on quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.
A written, itemised quote
You get the price in writing after a site visit, so there are no surprises once the job starts.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base for the ground we find, not a one-size dig-out.
The same people throughout
You deal with the same team from the quote to the day the job finishes.
Domestic and commercial
From a single driveway to a full car park, priced and planned the same careful way.
The price
What affects the price
Every job is quoted after a free site visit, so the price fits the work in front of us rather than a guess off a description. The main things that move the figure:
- The area and the laying pattern (some create more cuts and waste)
- The block chosen and any contrasting borders
- How much excavation and disposal the ground needs
- Access to the site for materials and machinery
