Driveways in Urmston and the surrounding area

Puddles sit on the drive for days after rain, and the water that does move heads for the house. We dig out the existing surface, then lay and compact a sub-base to suit the ground and the weight it will carry. We set the edging, falls and levels before any surface goes down, so water runs where it should. You choose block paving, resin bound or tarmac on top, and we work on Urmston drives from a single space 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

You are handing someone the front of your property to dig up, or a car park to take out of use for a few days, so it is worth knowing how we work before you decide. We have been doing this for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and Urmston is part of that. We look at the job before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you see the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up.

Urmston is one of the towns we cover regularly, and the M41 postcodes with it. We are based in Bolton and work out across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, which brings Heatley, Higher Whitley, Anderton, Bate Heath and Arley into the same area as the town itself.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    We have been laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for twenty years, and our reputation comes from quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.

  • A written, itemised quote

    We give you the price in writing after we have visited the site, so nothing unexpected turns up once the work begins.

  • The base done properly

    Most surfaces fail from underneath, so we build the base around the ground we find on your job instead of one standard dig-out.

  • The same people throughout

    You deal with the same team from the quote right through to the day the job is finished.

  • Domestic and commercial

    We take on single driveways and full car parks alike, and we price and plan both with the same care.

The price

What affects the price

We look at an Urmston job before we price it, and the visit is free. The quote then reflects the work in front of us rather than a guess made 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.

Yes. As well as Urmston itself we cover Heatley, Higher Whitley, Anderton, Bate Heath, Arley. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
