    Driveway widened

    Posted 5 days ago

    We needed our driveway widened to accommodate a second car. As they worked they regularly checked in to ensure it was what we wanted and sometimes offered alternative ideas. They were friendly, efficient and the work is great and we'll definitely use him in the future.

    Driveway extension and block paving! Gutting and extending garden patio and turfing the garden.

    Posted 1 week ago

    This company is excellent. I have used them 3 times over the last 10 years in the 3 different property’s I have owned. They are always professional, helpful and worth every penny. They go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied with the work being done and always communicate throughout the process.

    Patio and Pergola

    Posted 03 June

    Lee and Andy were polite and professional and easy to communicate with whilst doing out patio. Lee kept in touch well and made sure we were happy with the finish. It looks great and they finished on time. I would not hesitate to recommend The business to family and friends.

    "Disappointing Experience with GB Tarmac and Block Paving: A Cautionary Tale"

    Posted 31 March

    I found GB Tarmac and Block Paving through bark.com for my driveway block paving and garden slabs in June 2024. Unfortunately, the garden slabs started wobbling just a week after installation, and the driveway began to sink within 3-4 months. I reached out to Lee multiple times via message and phone, but initially, he claimed to be too busy to fix the issues. Eventually, he stopped responding altogether and even blocked my number. I would advise against hiring random builders from any site unless you have personally seen their work beforehand.

    New fence and 2 patios

    Posted 29 March

    Lee and Andy were reliable, on time and very friendly. We discussed the work beforehand and any changes Lee contacted me and discussed. Ensured that the area was left tidy every day and I def would recommend them
