Patios in Urmston and the surrounding area
Slabs that lift and rock are not a slab problem. Poor falls and a thin bed are the two things behind it, and both are set properly on an Urmston patio before anything is laid. We work to the same principles as a driveway: excavate, build the base, set the falls away from the building, then lay the slabs. You can have natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, and we tie the patio in with steps and edging so it sits right.
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
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 paving chosen (porcelain and natural stone differ from concrete)
- The area, and any steps or level changes
- Excavation and disposal
