Patios in Eccles and the surrounding area
A slab that rocks and tips when you step on it is a patio you stop using. Poor falls and a thin bed are the two things that cause it, so we set both properly before anything is laid. We build patios in Eccles on the same principles as a driveway, excavating, building the base and setting the falls away from the building before the slabs go down. You can have natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, tied in with steps and edging where you want them.
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
- 01
Set out and dig
We set the patio out, excavate, and build the base with the falls running away from the house.
- 02
Lay on a full bed
We lay each slab on a full mortar bed rather than dabs, so nothing rocks or lifts later.
- 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 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 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
