Block Paved Driveways in Bury and the surrounding area

Two things usually decide it in Bury: how the drive will look, and how it will stand up. Block paving does reasonably well on both. There is a wide choice of block sizes, colours and finishes to pick from, and because each block is laid individually, a damaged one can be taken out and replaced rather than patched over. Sections lift and go back the same way if anything beneath ever needs getting at.

It is a practical finish as well as a good-looking one. Block paving is cost-effective to lay and low maintenance once it is down, and because the blocks sit individually, a stained or damaged one can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the rest of the drive. Whole sections come up and go back the same way if anything underneath ever needs reaching.

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

  1. 01

    Survey and choose

    We measure up and check the ground, and you settle on the block, the colour and the laying pattern.

  2. 02

    Base and edges

    We dig out, lay and compact the sub-base, and set the edge restraints to line and level.

  3. 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

It is fair to want to know how a firm works before they dig up your frontage. We quote from a proper look rather than a description, we build the base around the ground that is really there, and the team does not change halfway. Over 20 years of that across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Bury with it.

Our base is Bolton, and from there we cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Bury and the BL8 and BL9 postcodes are near neighbours and we work there regularly. Tottington, Ramsbottom, Radcliffe, Whitefield and Walmersley are covered on the same basis.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Twenty years and more laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces in the North West, with most work still arriving by recommendation.

  • A written, itemised quote

    You get the cost in writing once we have stood on the job, broken down line by line.

  • The base done properly

    The base is what goes first, so we size the dig-out and sub-base for the ground and the traffic rather than a standard depth.

  • The same people throughout

    One team start to finish, from the first visit to the final brush down.

  • Domestic and commercial

    Domestic and commercial both, approached and priced with the same care.

The price

What affects the price

A free site visit comes before every Bury quote. Drainage is usually the thing that decides what the base has to do, and it is worth measuring rather than assuming.

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

Common questions

Can a block driveway be repaired later?

Yes. Individual blocks can be lifted and relaid, so a driveway can be opened up for access and put back without a visible patch.

Will weeds grow through the joints?

A properly compacted base and kiln-dried jointing sand keep weeds down. It is worth re-sanding the joints every few years to keep them tight.

How long does a block paved driveway take?

Most domestic block driveways take a few days depending on the area, the ground and the weather. You get a realistic duration with the quote.
