Block Paved Driveways in Sale and the surrounding area

A lot of the houses around Sale have some age and character to them, and a drive that ignores that looks wrong straight away. Block paving gives you enough to work with to avoid it: a wide choice of sizes, colours and finishes, laid in herringbone, stretcher bond or basket weave, with a contrasting course picking out the edge. Matching the brick and the stone detail on the house is a realistic aim rather than a hope.

It is a practical finish as well as a good-looking one. Block paving is cost-effective to lay and low maintenance once it is down, and because the blocks sit individually, a stained or damaged one can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the rest of the drive. Whole sections come up and go back the same way if anything underneath ever needs reaching.

What’s included

  • Excavation and a compacted sub-base
  • Edge restraints haunched in concrete
  • Blocks laid to your chosen pattern and colour
  • Whacked down and kiln-dried sand jointed
  • A choice of block size, colour and laying pattern

How we do it

  1. 01

    Survey and choose

    We measure up and check the ground, and you settle on the block, the colour and the laying pattern.

  2. 02

    Base and edges

    We dig out, lay and compact the sub-base, and set the edge restraints to line and level.

  3. 03

    Lay, compact and joint

    We lay to pattern, compact the blocks, then brush in the jointing sand and finish the edges.

Why us

Why choose THB Contractors

Before anyone starts lifting your drive it is worth knowing how they go about the work. We price after seeing it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and the people quoting are the people laying. That has been the way for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Sale included.

We work out of Bolton across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and Sale is well inside that. The M33 postcodes are regular ground, as are Brooklands, Ashton upon Mersey, Sale Moor, Timperley and Northenden, covered from the same base.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Over two decades of driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with a name built on quality work and tidy sites.

  • A written, itemised quote

    After the visit the price arrives written and itemised, so there are no surprises once work begins.

  • The base done properly

    A surface fails from below, so the dig-out and base are built for the ground in front of us and what will be driving on it.

  • The same people throughout

    The same faces throughout, from the quote to the day we finish.

  • Domestic and commercial

    A single drive or a commercial surface, both planned the same careful way.

The price

What affects the price

A free site visit comes first on every Sale job. Trees and what their roots have done to the ground can change the work considerably, and that is something to see rather than estimate.

The main things that move the figure:

  • The area and the laying pattern (some create more cuts and waste)
  • The block chosen and any contrasting borders
  • How much excavation and disposal the ground needs
  • Access to the site for materials and machinery

Common questions

Can a block driveway be repaired later?

Yes. Individual blocks can be lifted and relaid, so a driveway can be opened up for access and put back without a visible patch.

Will weeds grow through the joints?

A properly compacted base and kiln-dried jointing sand keep weeds down. It is worth re-sanding the joints every few years to keep them tight.

How long does a block paved driveway take?

Most domestic block driveways take a few days depending on the area, the ground and the weather. You get a realistic duration with the quote.
