Driveways in Middleton and the surrounding area

An old concrete drive that has cracked into panels is moving, and laying over the top of it moves the problem up a layer. We break it out and cart it away, then lay and compact a fresh sub-base for the ground underneath and the weight it carries, setting the edging, falls and levels first. Block paving, resin bound or tarmac finishes a Middleton drive, and the movement stops with the slab.

A well-designed driveway is the first thing anyone sees, and it sets the tone for the whole property. We help you create one to suit the house, using quality materials and getting the detail right, whether that is block paving, resin bound, or tarmac finished with a paved border.

What’s included

  • Excavation of the existing surface and muck-away
  • A compacted sub-base sized for the ground and the traffic
  • Edge restraints and kerbing set to line and level
  • Falls set before the surface goes down
  • Your choice of block paving, resin bound or tarmac finish

Why us

Why choose THB Contractors

Handing the front of your property to a contractor deserves a question or two first. We quote from a site visit, we build the base for the ground we actually find rather than to a set depth, and the team stays the same from first visit to last. Over 20 years of working that way across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Middleton included.

We are based in Bolton and cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Middleton and the M24 postcodes sit well inside that and we are there regularly. Alkrington, Rhodes, Blackley, Chadderton and Moston are covered on the same basis as the town itself.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    More than twenty years of driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with the work and the tidiness why most jobs come by word of mouth.

  • A written, itemised quote

    The quote is written and itemised once we have seen the job, so the cost is agreed before anything starts.

  • The base done properly

    Most surfaces give way from underneath, so the base is sized for the ground we find and the loading it will carry.

  • The same people throughout

    The same team throughout, from pricing it to sweeping up after.

  • Domestic and commercial

    From one driveway to a commercial car park, costed and planned with equal care.

The price

What affects the price

Every Middleton quote follows a free site visit. Breaking out and carting away an old concrete drive is a real part of the cost, so it gets measured rather than guessed.

The main things that move the figure:

  • The size of the driveway and how much has to be dug out
  • Access for machinery and where the spoil can go
  • The finish you choose and the base the ground needs
  • Whether new edgings or kerbing are part of the job

Common questions

Which finish should I choose?

It depends on the look you want, the budget and the ground. We go through block paving, resin and tarmac at the visit and tell you what suits, rather than pushing one finish.

Can you lay over my existing driveway?

Only where the base underneath is sound. Laying over a failing base is the main reason a driveway breaks up early, so we check it first and tell you honestly.

How long does a driveway take?

Most domestic driveways are a few days depending on size, the finish and the weather. You get a realistic duration with the quote.
