Block Paved Driveways in Wigan and the surrounding area
Block paving offers more variety than almost any other driveway finish. There is a wide range of block sizes, colours and finishes to start with, and then the laying pattern, which can be herringbone, stretcher bond or something framed with a contrasting border. For a driveway, a path or a patio in Wigan, that choice makes it far easier to land on something that complements the house rather than clashing with it.
It is a practical finish as well as a good-looking one. Block paving is cost-effective to lay and low maintenance once it is down, and because the blocks sit individually, a stained or damaged one can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the rest of the drive. Whole sections come up and go back the same way if anything underneath ever needs reaching.
What’s included
- Excavation and a compacted sub-base
- Edge restraints haunched in concrete
- Blocks laid to your chosen pattern and colour
- Whacked down and kiln-dried sand jointed
- A choice of block size, colour and laying pattern
How we do it
- 01
Survey and choose
We measure up and check the ground, and you settle on the block, the colour and the laying pattern.
- 02
Base and edges
We dig out, lay and compact the sub-base, and set the edge restraints to line and level.
- 03
Lay, compact and joint
We lay to pattern, compact the blocks, then brush in the jointing sand and finish the edges.

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
We have been laying driveways and surfacing in Wigan and across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire for over 20 years. 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 it is worth knowing how we work first. We look at the job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and the same team is with you from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
Wigan and the WN1 postcodes are somewhere we work regularly. Our base is in Bolton, covering Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and that reaches out past Wigan to Up Holland, Skelmersdale, Burscough, Downholland Cross and Aughton. All of them are covered from the same base as the town.
Over 20 years’ experience
We have laid driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for two decades, and people know us for quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.
A written, itemised quote
We come and see the job, then give you the price in writing, so there are no surprises once we start work.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath, so we build the base for the ground we actually find rather than one standard dig-out for every job.
The same people throughout
You get the same team from the quote to the last day, so the people who priced the job are the people doing it.
Domestic and commercial
We handle a single driveway and a full car park the same way, planning and pricing each with the same care.
The price
What affects the price
We price Wigan jobs after a free site visit rather than off a description, so what you are quoted is based on the work that is actually in front of us.
The main things that move the figure:
- The area and the laying pattern (some create more cuts and waste)
- The block chosen and any contrasting borders
- How much excavation and disposal the ground needs
- Access to the site for materials and machinery
