Expert patios and landscaping in Bolton & Bury

Patios need a fall away from the house and must sit at least 150mm below the damp proof course. We see a lot of patios laid level and hard up to the brickwork, and we see the damp that follows.

We lay on a full wet bed rather than five spots of mortar, which is what stops slabs rocking and cracking.

Not sure whether you need a repair, an extension or a full refurbishment? We will come out and tell you straight, at no cost.

How we work

From first visit to final sign-off

Testing Services follows the same order on every job, from your first call to the final walkthrough. You will always know which step you are on.

  1. Site visit and measure

    We come out, look at the actual job, and take our own measurements. No quoting off photos.

  2. Fixed written quote

    A line-by-line price with materials, labour and timescale. It does not move unless you change the scope.

  3. Drawings and approvals

    Where the work needs Building Control or planning, we prepare the drawings and handle the submission.

  4. Build

    One team, one site manager, a start date and a finish date you can hold us to.

  5. Sign-off and guarantee

    Final inspection with you, certificates handed over, and ten years on our workmanship.

We handle the permits, the materials and the clean-up, so you can get on with your life.

Questions

Common questions about building contractor work in Bolton & Bury

Still not answered? Ring 01204 960123 and speak to someone who has actually been on a site this week.

How long does a quote take?

We visit within three working days and send a written, itemised quote within a week of the visit. We do not quote from photographs.

Do you handle planning and Building Control?

Yes. We prepare and submit the drawings and deal with the inspections. Application fees are shown separately on your quote so you can see exactly what goes to the council.

Do I need planning permission for an extension?

Often not. A lot of single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development. We will tell you which side of the line your job sits on at the first visit, before you have spent anything.

How do payments work?

A deposit to secure the start date, then staged payments against completed work. We never ask for the full amount up front.

Are you insured?

Public liability insurance is in place and we will send the certificate with your quote without being asked.

What does the guarantee cover?

Ten years on our workmanship. Manufacturer warranties on materials such as roofing membrane and glazing are passed to you on completion.
