    A drive and drain pipe repair

    Posted 31 October

    The Driveway team arrived on time and got straight on with the work. They soon identified the problems and went about fixing them. The work was carried out in a day and they left the site clean and tidy. The next day I did notice a small issue but this was rectified straight away without question.

    Professional and personable from start to finish. The guys worked relentlessly with good humour and completely transformed my patio. The price was fixed and competitive and they even did a few extras just to make it perfect.

    New driveway

    Posted 03 October

    Craig and his team replaced my tarmac and grass driveway with block paving. It was a big job and the team just got on with the job in hand in really quick time. Attention to detail was fantastic, and completed the driveway in a very quick time. Really happy with the end result and the service given. After driveway was complete - Dave then sealed the driveway. I would highly recommend this company.

    Really pleased with the block paving work done on our driveway. The team were fantastic — hardworking, professional, and paid great attention to detail. They pushed through and kept the quality high, even working through a heatwave. Would definitely recommend them.

    Driveway installation

    Posted 25 June

    We recently had our driveway installed, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The workmanship was outstanding — you can tell these guys take real pride in what they do. Every detail was carefully considered, and the finish is flawless. What really stood out was how hard the team worked. They were punctual, professional, and didn’t cut any corners. From start to finish, their effort and dedication were clear, even working through tough conditions (heatwave) to get the job done to the highest standard. Highly recommended if you want quality work from a reliable, hardworking team.
