Driveways in Rochdale and the surrounding area

Ground that drains slowly puts a drive under pressure from underneath, which is where they nearly always fail. We dig out the old surface, lay and compact a sub-base sized for that ground and the weight it carries, then set the edging, falls and levels before anything is laid over it. The finish is your choice of block paving, resin bound or tarmac, and the water leaves a Rochdale drive properly.

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 your frontage over for a few days is worth a bit of due diligence. We price from a site visit rather than a phone call, we build the base around the ground we actually find, and the team stays the same from start to finish. Over 20 years of working that way across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Rochdale included.

We are based in Bolton and work across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Rochdale and the OL11 postcodes are well inside that patch and we are up there regularly. Castleton, Bamford, Norden, Heywood and Littleborough are covered from the same base.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Twenty years and more of driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, built on quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.

  • A written, itemised quote

    Once we have seen the job you get the cost in writing and broken down, so the figure agreed is the figure paid.

  • The base done properly

    The base is what gives way, so we size and build it for the ground in front of us rather than digging to a set depth.

  • The same people throughout

    One team throughout, from the first visit through to the last sweep-up.

  • Domestic and commercial

    From a single driveway to a commercial car park, priced and planned with the same care.

The price

What affects the price

A free site visit comes before every Rochdale quote. How the ground drains changes what the base needs, and that is the part of the cost worth getting right first.

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.

Do you offer driveways near Castleton?

Yes. As well as Rochdale itself we cover Castleton, Bamford, Norden, Heywood, Littleborough. Call 01706 892075 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
