Driveways in Bolton and the surrounding area
Drives rarely fail on top; they fail underneath, and no amount of surface work fixes that. We dig out what is there, then lay and compact a sub-base to suit the ground and the weight it will carry, and we set the edging, falls and levels before any surface goes down. You choose block paving, resin bound or tarmac for the finish. Water then runs where it should rather than pooling against the house, on a single Bolton drive or a multi-car frontage.
A well-designed driveway is the first thing anyone sees, and it sets the tone for the whole property. We help you create one to suit the house, using quality materials and getting the detail right, whether that is block paving, resin bound, or tarmac finished with a paved border.
What’s included
- Excavation of the existing surface and muck-away
- A compacted sub-base sized for the ground and the traffic
- Edge restraints and kerbing set to line and level
- Falls set before the surface goes down

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
We have spent over 20 years laying driveways and surfacing across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and we run the business from Chorley Old Road. You are trusting us 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. We look at the job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you get the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
Bolton is where we are based, at 67 Chorley Old Road. From here we cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, so the BL1 postcodes are on the doorstep rather than a trip out. Harwood, Tottington, Summerseat, Ramsbottom and Horwich are all covered alongside the town itself.
Over 20 years’ experience
Twenty years on, we are still laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, with a name built on quality workmanship and jobs left tidy.
A written, itemised quote
You get the price in writing after we have been out to see the job, so there are no surprises once we start.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath, so we build the base for the ground we actually find rather than digging every job out to the same depth.
The same people throughout
The team who price the job are the team who carry it out, so you are dealing with the same people from start to finish.
Domestic and commercial
A single driveway and a full car park get the same treatment from us: we price them carefully and plan them before anyone turns up.
The price
What affects the price
We come out and quote every Bolton job after a free site visit, so the price fits the work in front of us rather than a guess made off a description.
The main things that move the figure:
- The size of the driveway and how much has to be dug out
- Access for machinery and where the spoil can go
- The finish you choose and the base the ground needs
- Whether new edgings or kerbing are part of the job
