Block Paved Driveways in Worsley and the surrounding area

What makes block paving worth considering is the sheer range of it. Sizes, colours and finishes all vary, and the laying pattern sets the tone of the finished surface, from a traditional herringbone to a simpler stretcher bond with a border around the outside. Across Worsley we lay it on driveways, paths and patios, and the same choice is open to you on each, so the finished job suits the property it belongs to.

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

    Survey and choose

    We measure up and check the ground, and you settle on the block, the colour and the laying pattern.

    We dig out, lay and compact the sub-base, and set the edge restraints to line and level.

  3. 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 built up over 20 years of driveway and surfacing work across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and plenty of it in Worsley. You are letting someone dig up the front of your property, or take a car park out of use for a few days, so it is worth knowing how we work before you agree to anything. We look at the job before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you keep the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up.

Worsley falls inside the area we cover from our Bolton base, which runs across Greater Manchester and out into Lancashire and Cheshire. The M28 postcodes are somewhere we are working regularly, and Atherton, Ainsworth, Westhoughton, Speke and Hunt's Cross are covered on the same basis.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    We have spent over twenty years laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, and our reputation rests on quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.

  • A written, itemised quote

    Once we have seen the job we put the price in writing, so there is nothing to catch you out after the work starts.

  • The base done properly

    Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base to suit the ground we find rather than digging every job out the same way.

  • The same people throughout

    You have the same team from the quote through to the day the job is finished.

  • Domestic and commercial

    We take the same careful approach to a single driveway as we do to a full car park, right through pricing and planning.

The price

What affects the price

We come out to every Worsley job and price it from what we find, and the visit costs you nothing. That is better than guessing at a figure from a description.

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

Common questions

Can a block driveway be repaired later?

Yes. Individual blocks can be lifted and relaid, so a driveway can be opened up for access and put back without a visible patch.

Will weeds grow through the joints?

A properly compacted base and kiln-dried jointing sand keep weeds down. It is worth re-sanding the joints every few years to keep them tight.

How long does a block paved driveway take?

Most domestic block driveways take a few days depending on the area, the ground and the weather. You get a realistic duration with the quote.
