Patios in Sale and the surrounding area

Roots lifting a slab and a thin bed underneath account for most of the patios we are asked to put right around Sale. We excavate, build the base for the ground and what is in it, set the falls away from the building, then lay the slabs on a full bed. Natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, with the steps and edging brought in as part of the work.

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 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 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 Brooklands?

Yes. As well as Sale itself we cover Brooklands, Ashton upon Mersey, Sale Moor, Timperley, Northenden. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
