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

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

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

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.

Do you offer patios near Clayton?

Yes. As well as Bradford itself we cover Clayton, Openshaw, Beswick, Miles Platting, Newton Heath. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
