Patio Installation in Ashton-in-Makerfield

Patio Installation in Ashton-in-Makerfield

Ashton-in-Makerfield customers looking for patio installation turn to North West Steps and Driveways. A patio is only as good as what sits underneath it, and the most common cause of failure is inadequate preparation. We excavate to the correct depth for the slab thickness and sub-base, compact the base thoroughly, and set every slab on a full mortar bed — not five spot contacts — so there are no hollow-sounding slabs, no rocking, and no water sitting underneath. Every patio is laid with a fall graded away from the property to keep drainage off the house foundations. Pointing is done with a mortar or resin-based jointing compound that resists freeze-thaw and denies weeds a foothold. Ashton-in-Makerfield is a compact residential town with a strong run of inter-war semis and bungalows. The typical property here has a short front approach with a concrete or tarmac original surface that has been in place for decades. Block paving replacement and resin overlay work on these plots is common — and the relatively moderate frontage sizes make most jobs straightforward to manage.
