Driveways in Bolton and the North West

A driveway lasts as long as what sits under it. We dig out the existing surface, lay and compact a sub-base to suit the ground and the weight it will carry, then finish in block paving, resin bound or tarmac. Edging, falls and levels are set before any surface goes down, so water runs where it should rather than pooling against the house. We work on single driveways through to multi-car frontages across Bolton and the wider North West.

A well-designed driveway is the first thing anyone sees, and it sets the tone for the whole property. We help you craft one to suit the house, using quality materials and getting the detail right, whether that is block paving, resin bound, or tarmac finished with a paved border.

What’s included

  • Excavation of the existing surface and muck-away
  • A compacted sub-base sized for the ground and the traffic
  • Edge restraints and kerbing set to line and level
  • Falls set before the surface goes down
  • Your choice of block paving, resin bound or tarmac finish

Why us

Why choose THB Contractors

With over 20 years of experience serving Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, we are a first choice for driveways and surfacing across the region. 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 before you do. We keep it simple: a proper look before we price, the base built for the ground we actually find, and the same team on the job from the first visit to the last sweep-up.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    Two decades laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, with a reputation built on quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.

  • A written, itemised quote

    You get the price in writing after a site visit, so there are no surprises once the job starts.

  • The base done properly

    Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base for the ground we find, not a one-size dig-out.

  • The same people throughout

    You deal with the same team from the quote to the day the job finishes.

  • Domestic and commercial

    From a single driveway to a full car park, priced and planned the same careful way.

The price

What affects the price

Every job is quoted after a free site visit, so the price fits the work in front of us rather than a guess off a description. The main things that move the figure:

  • The size of the driveway and how much has to be dug out
  • Access for machinery and where the spoil can go
  • The finish you choose and the base the ground needs
  • Whether new edgings or kerbing are part of the job

Common questions

Which finish should I choose?

It depends on the look you want, the budget and the ground. We go through block paving, resin and tarmac at the visit and tell you what suits, rather than pushing one finish.

Can you lay over my existing driveway?

Only where the base underneath is sound. Laying over a failing base is the main reason a driveway breaks up early, so we check it first and tell you honestly.

How long does a driveway take?

Most domestic driveways are a few days depending on size, the finish and the weather. You get a realistic duration with the quote.

Do you offer a free quote?

Yes. Every driveway starts with a free site visit, and the written, itemised quote afterwards is free with no obligation.
