Patios in Bury and the surrounding area

Rain is what finds a badly laid patio out, pooling where the falls were never set and getting under slabs where the bed is thin. We sort both before laying. A Bury patio is excavated, based, and set to fall away from the house, with the slabs bedded fully. Natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, and we tie in the steps and edging so the whole thing sits as one.

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

  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

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 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 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.
