Patios in Middleton and the surrounding area

If a patio rocks underfoot the bed was thin, and if it holds water the falls were wrong. Both get dealt with before anything is laid. We excavate a Middleton patio, build the base, set the falls so water leaves the house, and bed every slab fully. Natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain for the finish, and the steps and edging are set in alongside it.

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

  1. 01

    Set out and dig

    We set the patio out, excavate, and build the base with the falls running away from the house.

  2. 02

    Lay on a full bed

    We lay each slab on a full mortar bed rather than dabs, so nothing rocks or lifts later.

  3. 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

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 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

Common questions

Why do patios lift and rock?

Almost always a thin bed and poor falls. We lay on a full mortar bed with the falls set properly, which is what stops slabs rocking and holding water.

Can you lay porcelain?

Yes. Porcelain needs the right bed and priming to bond, which we do as standard, so it lasts as well as it looks.

What materials can you lay?

Indian sandstone, porcelain, natural stone and block paving are all options. Which suits depends on the look, the budget and how the patio will be used — we talk it through at the visit.

Do you offer patios near Alkrington?

Yes. As well as Middleton itself we cover Alkrington, Rhodes, Blackley, Chadderton, Moston. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
