Patios in Bradford and the surrounding area
A patio that holds water against the house was laid flat, or near enough. The falls and the bed are what decide whether it drains, so they come first. We excavate your Bradford patio, build the base, set the falls so water runs away from the building, and then lay the slabs onto a full bed. You can have natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, with the steps and edging worked in as part of it.
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
Before anyone starts breaking up your frontage it is worth knowing how they go about it. We quote off a visit rather than a description, we build the base for the ground that is actually there, and you deal with the same team start to finish. Over 20 years of doing it that way across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Bradford included.
Our base is in Bolton and we cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire from it. Bradford and the M11 postcodes are well inside that, and we are over this way regularly. Clayton, Openshaw, Beswick, Miles Platting and Newton Heath are covered from the same base as the town itself.
Over 20 years’ experience
Over two decades laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, and a name built on doing the job properly and leaving the site clean.
A written, itemised quote
You get the cost in writing after the visit, broken down line by line, so there is nothing to argue about later.
The base done properly
Most failures start underneath, so we dig out and build the sub-base around the ground and the traffic, rather than to one depth whatever we find.
The same people throughout
One team from first visit to last. The people who priced your job are the people on it.
Domestic and commercial
Domestic drives and commercial surfacing both, quoted and planned with the same care.
The price
What affects the price
A free site visit comes before every Bradford quote. What the old surface is sitting on makes a real difference to the cost, and that is not something you can tell from the kerb.
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
