Driveways in Stretford and the surrounding area

The edges went first, fretting and breaking away because there was nothing holding them in. We dig out the existing surface and lay and compact a sub-base to suit the ground and the weight it will carry, because a driveway lasts as long as what sits under it. We set the edging, falls and levels before any surface goes down, and you finish in block paving, resin bound or tarmac. You get water leaving your Stretford drive rather than pooling against the house, from one bay through to a multi-car frontage.

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

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. 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.

  • A written, itemised quote

    We write the price down after the site visit and hand it to you, so the job starts with no surprises in it.

  • The base done properly

    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 price

What affects the price

Every Stretford job gets a free site visit before we quote it, so the price you are given fits the work we can see rather than a guess off a description.

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.
