Patios & Driveways in Worsley
Patios and driveways built from the ground up: proper excavation, a compacted sub-base and falls that carry water away from your house, in porcelain, Indian stone, flags or block paving. Around eight miles from our Leigh base.
Patios & Driveways for Worsley Gardens
Patios and driveways carry a lot of the look of a Worsley home. We build both to last: porcelain and Indian stone patios with proper falls and pointing, and driveways on a compacted MOT base that won’t sink or puddle after a wet winter.
We cover Worsley and the surrounding area: Worsley Village, Roe Green, Broadoak Park, Hazelhurst, Alder Forest and beyond (M28).

What’s Included
On larger Worsley plots we often combine the two, a driveway re-lay at the front and a patio extension at the back, designed together so the materials and levels work as one scheme rather than two afterthoughts.
- Porcelain, Indian stone, flagging and block paving
- Full dig-out and compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base
- Correct falls so water runs away from the house
- Driveways designed to drain within your boundary
- Old patios and drives broken out and carted away
- Sunken or rocking flags relaid on fresh full beds
How It Works
Patios & Driveways in Worsley, FAQs
Not if it drains properly, permeable materials or falls to a border keep you within permitted development. Near the Worsley Village conservation area it’s worth a quick check with Salford City Council, which we can do for you.
Indian sandstone sits beautifully against brick and timbered properties, warm tones and a natural riven surface. Porcelain suits more modern extensions. We bring samples so you can see both against your own house.
It depends on the size, the material and what we find when we dig. Porcelain costs more than Indian stone, with block paving somewhere between, but the excavation and sub-base are a fair chunk of the price whatever you lay on top. We price per job rather than a blanket rate per square metre, because a small fiddly patio costs more per metre to lay than a big open one, so you get an exact written figure after a free site visit before anything starts.
Porcelain is dense, colour-consistent and barely stains, so a porcelain patio stays looking new with almost no upkeep, but it costs more and needs a skilled lay. Indian stone is natural, so every flag varies, and it weathers into the garden nicely at a lower price, though it benefits from an occasional clean and seal. Neither is wrong; it comes down to the look you want and the budget.
A typical patio runs three to five days: dig-out and sub-base first, then the patio laying, then jointing once the beds have firmed up. Driveways are similar, sometimes a day or two longer for the extra depth of dig. Wet weather can stretch things slightly because mortar and jointing compounds need time to cure.
