Block Paved Driveways in Manchester and the surrounding area
Block paving is where most people in Manchester end up when a drive has to look deliberate rather than just surfaced. The blocks come in a broad range of sizes, colours and textures, and the laying pattern is yours to pick, from herringbone through to stretcher bond with a contrasting course round the edge. On a small city frontage that choice matters, because the drive has to sit against the brick without shouting over it.
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
Letting a contractor dig up the front of your property is a decision, and it is fair to want to know how they work first. We price off a proper look at the job, we build the base for the ground we actually find rather than to a standard depth, and the people who quote it are the people who lay it. That is how we have worked for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Manchester included.
We are based in Bolton and work across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Manchester and the M2 postcodes sit at the middle of that, and we are in the city regularly rather than now and then. Ancoats, Hulme, Ardwick, Collyhurst and Cheetham Hill are covered on the same basis.
Over 20 years’ experience
Twenty years and more of driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with the work and the tidiness of it the reason most of our jobs come by word of mouth.
A written, itemised quote
The price comes to you in writing once we have seen the job, itemised, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay.
The base done properly
A surface gives way from below long before it shows on top, so the dig-out and the sub-base are sized for the ground we find, not for a standard depth.
The same people throughout
The same faces from the quote through to the final sweep. Nobody gets handed on to a crew you have not met.
Domestic and commercial
A single drive or a commercial car park, both planned and priced the same careful way.
The price
What affects the price
Access does more to a city price than most people expect, so every Manchester quote follows a free site visit. We would rather see how the materials and the muck will get in and out than guess at it.
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
