Block Paved Driveways in Stretford and the surrounding area

With block paving you decide how the finished drive looks. The blocks themselves come in a range of sizes, colours and finishes, and the pattern they are laid in does the rest, from herringbone to stretcher bond, with contrasting borders available to frame the edges. It is the same for a path or a patio, so a Stretford property can be tied together with one material and still not look uniform.

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

Why us

Why choose THB Contractors

Stretford sits inside the patch we have covered for over 20 years, laying driveways and surfacing across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. You are trusting someone to dig up the front of your property, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so you should know how we work before you commit to anything. We look at the job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you have the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up.

We are a Bolton firm working across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and Stretford is well inside that. block paved driveway work in the M32 postcodes is something we take on regularly, and the same goes for Little Bollington, Lostock Gralam, Kelsall, Halewood and Alvanley, which are covered from the same base.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    We have spent two decades laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, and we have built our reputation on quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.

    Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base for the ground we actually find, rather than giving every job an identical dig-out.

  • The same people throughout

    From the quote to the last day on site, you deal with the same team.

  • Domestic and commercial

    We price and plan a single driveway the same careful way as a full car park, whatever the size of the job.

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.
