Patios in Manchester and the surrounding area
Slabs that rock and water sitting against the wall both come from the same two things: a thin bed and falls that were never set. We get both right before anything is laid. A Manchester patio is built on driveway principles, so we excavate, build the base, set the falls away from the building, then lay the slabs. Natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, with steps and edging tied in so it reads as one piece.
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
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 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
