Driveways in Bury and the surrounding area

Rain is hard on a drive, and what it does is soften the ground beneath before anything shows on the surface. We dig out, build and compact a sub-base for the ground we find and the loading it has to carry, then set the edging, falls and levels so water clears instead of standing. You pick the finish, block paving, resin bound or tarmac, and a Bury drive stays where it was laid.

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
  • Your choice of block paving, resin bound or tarmac finish

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 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

Common questions

Which finish should I choose?

It depends on the look you want, the budget and the ground. We go through block paving, resin and tarmac at the visit and tell you what suits, rather than pushing one finish.

Can you lay over my existing driveway?

Only where the base underneath is sound. Laying over a failing base is the main reason a driveway breaks up early, so we check it first and tell you honestly.

How long does a driveway take?

Most domestic driveways are a few days depending on size, the finish and the weather. You get a realistic duration with the quote.

Do you offer driveways near Tottington?

Yes. As well as Bury itself we cover Tottington, Ramsbottom, Radcliffe, Whitefield, Walmersley. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
