10 Repaired driveway edging and cleaned and sealed driveway.
Posted 4 days ago
Repaired drive edging and cleaned and sealed it. My 12 year old drive now looks like new. This is the second time I have used them. They are hard workers and polite. I was informed about what they were doing. I have no hesitation in recommending them.Verified reviewerJob location: TN3710 Garden block paving

Excellent service. Prompt and courteous response to enquiry. Needed large gravel area of garden to be blocked paved. Excellent communication and the job was booked in and work started on time. Very professional workmanship with highly efficient and safe working practices. The finished area was exactly what we had hoped for and was left completely clean and tidy. We are extremely pleased with the result. We would highly recommend First Class Driveways. As a further note this is the 3rd time we have used this company at different homes and every time they have provided a fabulous job.Verified reviewerJob location: TN4010 Trustworthy and professional.

Les was helpful from the outset. Arrived same day I called for a quote and helped us come up with some design improvements. Works were completed the next week whilst we were away on holiday and to a very high standard. Highly recommended, as Les is someone you can trust to do exactly what he says, on time and on budget.Verified reviewerJob location: TN3910 Decking

Our back garden needed some tlc as our split level soil was eroding and needed a retaining wall with two tiers installed. After having difficulty moving forward with other contractors, Les was prompt at coming back to us with a reasonable quote. He completed the job promptly and to a high standard and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. It's a big weight off our shoulders knowing this is finally sorted and we can start to make the bottom of our garden a nice place to sit in the summer without worrying it's collapsing! Thank you Les and team!Verified reviewerJob location: TN35
