Driveways in West Houghton and the surrounding area
You have patched the same drive twice now and it keeps going, because the trouble is under the surface rather than on it. A driveway lasts as long as what sits under it. We dig out the existing surface, lay and compact a sub-base to suit the ground and the weight it will carry, and set the edging, falls and levels before anything goes on top. You choose block paving, resin bound or tarmac. Your West Houghton drive then sheds water away from the house, single or multi-car.
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
We look at a job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you get the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up. That is worth knowing, because you are trusting someone to dig up the front of your property or take a car park out of use for a few days. We have worked that way for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, West Houghton included.
We are based in Bolton, and the area we work stretches across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. West Houghton and the WN5 postcodes sit close to home in that, so we are there often. Hindley, Leigh, Atherton and Blackrod are covered alongside it, on exactly the same footing.
Over 20 years’ experience
Twenty years of laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West have given us our reputation, and we keep it with quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.
A written, itemised quote
We put the price in writing after the visit, so you know what the job costs before it starts and there are no surprises later.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base for the ground we find on the day rather than digging every job out to the same spec.
The same people throughout
The people who quote your job are the people who finish it, so you deal with the same team throughout.
Domestic and commercial
We price and plan a single driveway with the same care we give a full car park.
The price
What affects the price
We quote a West Houghton job after a free site visit, because a price worked out on the ground fits the job in front of us far better than one guessed 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
