Patios in Rochdale and the surrounding area

Slow-draining ground under a thin bed is what starts slabs rocking, and no amount of re-pointing fixes it. We excavate a Rochdale patio, build the base for the ground we find, set the falls so water goes away from the house, and lay the slabs on a full bed. Natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, with the steps and edging tied in as part of the same job.

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 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 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.
