    Groundworks repairs

    Posted 03 July

    The company arrived on time for quoting and carrying out works at times arranged and convenient to both parties. They were thorough in measuring and understanding our requirements, matching slabs where required, digging out and replacing slabs and grouting and levelling surfaces. They were neat and tidy. The price was reasonable and the job carried out to a high standard.

    Tiling the backyard for a patio and garden room foundations

    Posted 23 June

    Steve and his team were always very friendly and patient. They are all very hard workers and incredibly detail-oriented. They kept me and my long-term benefit in mind with every decision. Since I didn't have a very clear vision for my yard, they really helped me put ideas together and carried them out until things were perfect. They built me my dream backyard! Everyone went above and beyond.

    Front drive pavement extension

    Posted 26 May

    Steve was recommended by another tradesman as he was busy. I selected Steve based on reviews of his work, his quotation was in the middle. He set the right expectation from start to finish, clear communication when working. I recommend Steve

    Replacement patios and pond

    Posted 19 May

    We wanted new porcelain patios and a pond to replace very old ones. Steve and Adil were always on time, hard working and well equipped. The site was thoroughly prepared. The tolerances for levels and cutting that they worked to were to the mm, including around a bay window, and resiting and rebuilding the pond so that all the grouting lines would flow across the whole patio area. They also put in improved drainage and installed new fencing. We think we got an excellent quality job from a high quality and reliable company. This was our largest house project, and our best.
