Driveways in Stockport and the surrounding area

On a sloping plot the falls matter as much as the base, and getting either wrong shows within a couple of winters. We excavate, lay and compact a sub-base for the ground and the traffic, then set the edging, falls and levels before a surface goes anywhere near it. Block paving, resin bound or tarmac for the finish, as you prefer. Water then runs off a Stockport drive properly rather than back towards the building.

A well-designed driveway is the first thing anyone sees, and it sets the tone for the whole property. We help you create one to suit the house, using quality materials and getting the detail right, whether that is block paving, resin bound, or tarmac finished with a paved border.

What’s included

  • Excavation of the existing surface and muck-away
  • A compacted sub-base sized for the ground and the traffic
  • Edge restraints and kerbing set to line and level
  • Falls set before the surface goes down
  • Your choice of block paving, resin bound or tarmac finish

Why us

Why choose THB Contractors

You are handing someone the front of your property for a few days, so how they work matters. We look at the job before we price it, we build the base to suit the ground rather than to a set depth, and the team that quotes is the team that lays. That has been the way for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Stockport with it.

We work out of Bolton, covering Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Stockport and the SK1 postcodes fall inside that comfortably, and we are there regularly. Heaton Chapel, Heaton Norris, Edgeley, Davenport and Reddish are covered on the same terms.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    More than twenty years of driveways, patios and commercial surfacing across the North West, with a reputation for solid work and a tidy site.

  • A written, itemised quote

    After the visit the price arrives in writing and itemised, so the cost is settled before anyone lifts a spade.

  • The base done properly

    The base is what fails first, so we size the dig-out and the sub-base for the ground in front of us and the weight going on it.

  • The same people throughout

    The same people right through, from the day we price it to the day we sweep up.

  • Domestic and commercial

    From one driveway to a full commercial car park, approached and costed the same way.

The price

What affects the price

Every Stockport quote comes after a free site visit. On a sloping plot the falls and the drainage change the work, and those are things to measure rather than estimate.

The main things that move the figure:

  • The size of the driveway and how much has to be dug out
  • Access for machinery and where the spoil can go
  • The finish you choose and the base the ground needs
  • Whether new edgings or kerbing are part of the job

Common questions

Which finish should I choose?

It depends on the look you want, the budget and the ground. We go through block paving, resin and tarmac at the visit and tell you what suits, rather than pushing one finish.

Can you lay over my existing driveway?

Only where the base underneath is sound. Laying over a failing base is the main reason a driveway breaks up early, so we check it first and tell you honestly.

How long does a driveway take?

Most domestic driveways are a few days depending on size, the finish and the weather. You get a realistic duration with the quote.

Do you offer driveways near Heaton Chapel?

Yes. As well as Stockport itself we cover Heaton Chapel, Heaton Norris, Edgeley, Davenport, Reddish. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
