Patios in Worsley and the surrounding area

Two things make a patio lift and rock: poor falls and a bed laid too thin. You end up with water sitting on the slabs instead of running off. We set both properly in Worsley before anything is laid, working to the same principles as a driveway. We excavate, build the base, set the falls away from the building, then lay the slabs in natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain. Steps and edging can be tied in as part of the same job.

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.

How we do it

  1. 01

    Set out and dig

    We set the patio out, excavate, and build the base with the falls running away from the house.

  2. 02

    Lay on a full bed

    We lay each slab on a full mortar bed rather than dabs, so nothing rocks or lifts later.

  3. 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

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 paving chosen (porcelain and natural stone differ from concrete)
  • The area, and any steps or level changes
  • Excavation and disposal
  • Access to the rear of the property

Common questions

Why do patios lift and rock?

Almost always a thin bed and poor falls. We lay on a full mortar bed with the falls set properly, which is what stops slabs rocking and holding water.

Can you lay porcelain?

Yes. Porcelain needs the right bed and priming to bond, which we do as standard, so it lasts as well as it looks.

What materials can you lay?

Indian sandstone, porcelain, natural stone and block paving are all options. Which suits depends on the look, the budget and how the patio will be used — we talk it through at the visit.

Do you offer patios near Atherton?

Yes. As well as Worsley itself we cover Atherton, Ainsworth, Westhoughton, Speke, Hunt's Cross. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
