Patios in Standish and the surrounding area
Most patios that go wrong go wrong underneath: a bed laid too thin and falls that were never set, which is why the slabs rock and the water sits. We deal with both first on a patio in Standish, then build it on the same principles as a driveway. We excavate, build the base, set the falls away from the building, then lay the slabs. You choose natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, and we can tie the patio into steps and edging.
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
- 01
Set out and dig
We set the patio out, excavate, and build the base with the falls running away from the house.
- 02
Lay on a full bed
We lay each slab on a full mortar bed rather than dabs, so nothing rocks or lifts later.
- 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
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 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
