Patios in Bolton and the surrounding area
When rain runs back towards the house instead of away from it, the falls were never set right in the first place. That, and a thin bed, is what makes patios lift and rock, so we get both right before a slab goes down. We build your Bolton patio on the same principles as a driveway: excavate, build the base, set the falls away from the building, then lay the slabs. You can have natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, and we 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 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 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
