Patios in Oldham and the surrounding area

Water that stays on a patio gets into the joints and a frost does the rest, which is why the falls are not optional. We excavate, build the base, and set the falls away from the building before laying anything. An Oldham patio goes onto a full mortar bed in natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, and we bring the steps and edging in with it so there is nothing left to come loose.

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

Before you let anyone dig up your frontage it helps to know how they operate. We quote from a proper look at the job, we build the base for the ground that is actually under there, and the people who price it are the people who lay it. That is how it has worked for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Oldham with it.

Our base is Bolton and we cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Oldham and the OL1 postcodes are regular ground, not an occasional trip. Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Lees and Failsworth are covered on the same basis as the town.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Over twenty years laying driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with a reputation for work that lasts and sites left clean.

  • A written, itemised quote

    You get the price in writing after we have seen it, itemised, so nothing about the cost changes once the job starts.

  • The base done properly

    Nearly every failure begins below the surface, so the dig-out and sub-base are built for the ground we meet and the traffic it carries.

  • The same people throughout

    The same team from the quote to the finish. No handing over to a crew you have never met.

  • Domestic and commercial

    Driveways and commercial surfacing alike, both costed and planned the same careful way.

The price

What affects the price

Every Oldham quote follows a free site visit. Drainage and the state of what is underneath both move the price, and both need looking at rather than assuming.

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 Chadderton?

Yes. As well as Oldham itself we cover Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Lees, Failsworth. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
