Patios in Stretford and the surrounding area
You go out after a shower and the paving is holding water in the same places every time. That comes down to the falls, and a thin bed underneath is what has the slabs rocking. We set both properly before anything is laid. A Stretford patio is built on the same principles as a driveway: we excavate, build the base, set the falls away from the building, then lay the slabs in natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, with steps and edging tied in as needed.
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
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. patio 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 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
