Block Paved Driveways in Wythenshawe and the surrounding area

A wide frontage in plain paving can read as a lot of nothing, and block paving is the easy fix for it. Borders, a change of colour, a band of darker blocks part way across: any of them break a large area up and give it some shape. The blocks come in a wide choice of sizes, colours and finishes, so a block paved driveway in Wythenshawe can be set out to suit the width rather than fight 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

  1. 01

    Survey and choose

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

  2. 02

    Base and edges

    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

It is reasonable to want to know how a contractor works before they take your drive up. We price after seeing the job, we build the base for the ground we find rather than a standard dig, and the same team sees it through from quote to finish. Over 20 years of that across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Wythenshawe included.

We are a Bolton firm covering Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and Wythenshawe sits well within it. The M23 postcodes are somewhere we work regularly, and so are Baguley, Northenden, Sharston, Benchill and Woodhouse Park, all covered from the same base.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Twenty years and more of driveways, patios and commercial surfacing in the North West, with most of the work still coming through recommendation.

  • A written, itemised quote

    The quote is written and itemised once we have stood on the job, so the number does not shift once we start.

  • The base done properly

    Surfaces go from underneath, so the sub-base is built for the ground and the loading instead of a one-depth dig-out.

  • The same people throughout

    You keep the same team throughout, from the first visit to the last brush down.

  • Domestic and commercial

    A single drive or a commercial yard, both planned and priced with the same care.

The price

What affects the price

A free site visit comes first on every Wythenshawe job. Area drives a lot of the cost, and so does what we find when the old surface comes off, so we price from the ground rather than a guess.

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.
