Block Paved Driveways in Eccles and the surrounding area
A block paved drive should look like it belongs to the house, and with the range available it usually can. Blocks come in different sizes, colours and finishes, and the laying pattern changes the look again, with contrasting borders and edgings to pick out the shape of the drive. We lay driveways, paths and patios across Eccles, and the same choice applies to all three, so the finish is settled before anything is ordered.
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 us to dig up the front of your property, or take a car park out of use for a few days. It is worth knowing how we work before that happens: we look at the job properly 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. We have been doing it that way for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Eccles included.
We work out of Bolton and cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Eccles and the M30 postcodes fall well inside that, and we are there regularly rather than occasionally. Halebarns, Shelf, Boothtown, Northowram and Ovenden are covered on the same basis, whichever side of the town you happen to be on.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have laid driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for over twenty years, and built a reputation for quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.
A written, itemised quote
After we have seen the job, you get the price in writing, so nothing about the cost changes shape once the work begins.
The base done properly
Surfaces nearly always fail from underneath, so we size and build the base for the ground we actually find rather than digging out to a standard depth.
The same people throughout
You keep the same team throughout, from the person who quotes the job to the people finishing it on the last day.
Domestic and commercial
From one driveway to a full car park, we price and plan the work the same careful way.
The price
What affects the price
Every Eccles quote follows a free site visit. We would rather stand on the job and price the work that is actually in front of us than guess at it from 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
