Patios in Chorley and the surrounding area

Puddles that sit on the paving for days after rain mean the falls are not taking water off it. A thin bed underneath is what leaves the slabs rocking. We set both properly in Chorley before anything is laid, building the patio on the same principles as a driveway: excavate, build the base, set the falls away from the building, then lay the slabs. You pick natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, and we work steps and edging in.

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

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

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 patio 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 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 Coppull?

Yes. As well as Chorley itself we cover Coppull, Coppull Moor, Appley Bridge, Bryn Gates, Hindley. Call 01257 491086 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
