Les replaced a loose gravel driveway with brick. He is extremely hard working and just gets on with it. He recommended ways to maximise the area which were beneficial. The work was completed much faster than expected due to his work ethic but without cutting corners. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.Verified reviewerJob location: BN22- DDAVE B
10 Put in new Soakaway and realign roof gutter
Posted 11 December 2025
Very impressed with Les and Co. They arrived early on the agreed day and got straight down to digging the hole for the new Soakaway after first protecting the lawn. After completing that they turned to the roof gutter which needed removing both down pipes and placing them in better positions and realigning the gutter. The work was carried out with the highest of professionalism and knowledge and I have no hesitation in recommending Les and his company to anybody that needs a decent job doneVerified reviewerJob location: BN27 10 The company is friendly and helpful

Job location: TN34The work carried out, firstly the off road parking then dropping the kerb, was done efficiently and attention to detail was excellent. I am pleased with the work done. "After sales service" has been good too, coming back to check everything was as it should be.
