Block Paved Driveways in Chorley and the surrounding area
The choice is what draws most people to block paving. Blocks come in a spread of sizes, colours and finishes, and the way they are laid changes the character of the whole drive: herringbone for a traditional look, stretcher bond for something simpler, a contrasting border to frame it. Whether it is a driveway, a path or a patio you are having laid in Chorley, there is a combination that will sit comfortably with your house and garden.
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
- 01
Survey and choose
We measure up and check the ground, and you settle on the block, the colour and the laying pattern.
- 02
Base and edges
We dig out, lay and compact the sub-base, and set the edge restraints to line and level.
- 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
You are trusting someone to dig up the front of your property, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it is worth knowing how we work before you decide. We have been laying driveways and surfacing for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and Chorley is well within our patch. We look at the job before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you get the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
Our base is in Bolton, and from there we work across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Chorley sits on the Lancashire side of that, and the PR7 postcodes are somewhere we are back at regularly. Coppull, Coppull Moor, Appley Bridge, Bryn Gates and Hindley are covered too, so block paved driveway work in the villages is no different to a job in the town.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have been laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for twenty years, and our reputation rests on quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.
A written, itemised quote
We visit the site, then put the price in writing. You know what the job costs before it starts, and nothing lands on you later.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath, which is why we build the base for the ground we find instead of giving every job the same dig-out.
The same people throughout
You deal with the same team right through, from the quote to the day the job finishes.
Domestic and commercial
We treat a single driveway and a full car park the same way, pricing and planning both with the same care.
The price
What affects the price
Before we price anything in Chorley we come out and look, and the site visit is free. That way the quote fits the work in front of us rather than a guess off a description.
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
