Patios in Wythenshawe and the surrounding area

The bigger the patio the more a thin bed tells, because there is more of it to rock. We build a Wythenshawe patio the way we build a driveway: excavate, build the base, set the falls away from the house, then lay the slabs on a full bed. Natural stone, concrete paving or porcelain, and the steps and edging are set in at the same time so the finished area holds together.

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.

What’s included

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

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 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 Baguley?

Yes. As well as Wythenshawe itself we cover Baguley, Northenden, Sharston, Benchill, Woodhouse Park. Call 0161 451 0824 if you are not sure whether you are in range.
