Block Paved Driveways in Standish and the surrounding area
Much of the appeal of block paving is in the detail. Alongside the choice of block size, colour and finish, the laying pattern sets the character of the finished drive, and a contrasting border or edging course frames it properly. For driveways, paths and patios in Standish, that range means you are choosing a look rather than accepting whatever the material dictates, and it is all agreed before any blocks arrive.
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

How we do it
- 01
Survey and choose
We measure up and check the ground, and you settle on the block, the colour and the laying pattern.
- 02
Base and edges
We dig out, lay and compact the sub-base, and set the edge restraints to line and level.
- 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
You are trusting us to dig up the front of your property, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it is worth knowing how we work before you book anything. We have been at it for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Standish included. We take a proper look before we price, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and the same team is on the job from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
Standish and the WN6 postcodes are regular ground for us. We are based in Bolton, and the area we work covers Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, which puts the villages either side of Standish inside it as well. Wrightington Bar, Eccleston, Newburgh, Mawdesley, Pinfold and New Lane are all covered.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have laid driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for over twenty years, and we have earned a reputation for quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.
A written, itemised quote
You get the price in writing once we have seen the job, so there is nothing to surprise you after the work starts.
The base done properly
Because most surfaces fail from underneath, we build the base for the ground we find on site instead of a one-size dig-out.
The same people throughout
You deal with the same team the whole way through, from the visit where we quote to the day we pack up.
Domestic and commercial
We give a single driveway the same planning and pricing as a full car park, so the small jobs are no less carefully run.
The price
What affects the price
We do not price a Standish job off a description. We come out, look at it, and quote from what is actually there, and the site visit costs you nothing.
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
