    Laying new Driveway & Roof cleaning

    Posted 26 February

    The team at Farnborough & Border Services have done a fantastic job in re-laying our driveway and cleaning our roof, turning a shabby looking external appearance into something that looks smart and re-freshed. The team also picked up a few extra jobs while they were here which they carried out really well. They were always on-time, nothing was too much trouble and the work was always carried out with a positive attitude.

    Concrete pad for ground anchor

    Posted 10 December 2025

    I used Farnborough & Border Services to install a small concrete pad on my tarmac driveway so I could fit a ground anchor for my motorbike. I sent them a couple of photos of the area, and they were able to provide a quote online. Just a few days later, they managed to fit the job into their schedule. They arrived punctually and completed the work quickly. The quality is top-notch and the price was very fair. I’d definitely use them again in the future,
