    Professional, hard working with an excellent job done!

    Posted 25 January

    Living on the corner of a busy main road and a side road with parking at the front being taken over with neighbours continually assuming their space, we decided to move the location of our driveway from the rear of our property to the front. With requesting three quotations from very reputable companies, we had no regrets in choosing SC&Son Mike Every step of the way was explained clearly and giving options and advice. The team including Mick and Connor grafted in all weather and never failed to turn up. Rachael in admin was excellent with assisting in dealing the ever awkward BCP Council.

    Professional , courteous, value for money.

    Posted 09 December 2025

    The team carried out the tarmacing of my drive over a 3 day period on 19th November. They were professional, friendly, considerate and left the front garden clean and tidy. I was impressed at the speed of the work and the amount of tradespeople involved (a bit like DIY SOS on day 3!). I was pleased with the overall cost for the drive/edging/stonework and some repair work and would thoroughly recommend Steve Collins. I have had several people recommend them to me and never considered another company for a quote

    Hi Mike came to do a site visit and measured and discussed the options with me for my Driveway and Fencing. Very hardworking and professional teams then came and started the works. Finished to a very high standard. Thank you to all concerned.

    A great service form a professional team

    Posted 21 August 2025

    Mick and his team did an excellent job in repairing and putting tarmac on my drive. They turned up on time and started work immediately and finished the job in good time due to their hard work. Their quote for the work was reasonable and the finished job was just what we wanted.

    Don't count on the after sales service, but excellent workmen

    Posted 12 August 2025

    The team that came to tarmac my drive and lay a patio at the rear of the house were super professional, turned up on time, worked like madmen, kept me informed of options and progress and we were super happy with the end result. However I'm disappointed with the service once they have your money. Two patio slabs cracked and I needed them replacing. It took about a month of leaving messages that either were ignored or replied to with promises that were never kept I had to resort to making social media threats before they finally came and fix things. The fix was good once done

    Response from Steve Collins & Sons Surfacing Limited

    the customer was happy with the patio that was laid. We returned to his property to replace a couple of slabs that had a crack in it which was a manufacturers fault , free of charge and he was happy. We needed to finish of with some resin, as this is expensive we said we would return when we had some left over from another job, and weather permitting. When we asked to action what was agreed, he said he has now completed it himself.

    New Tarmac driveway

    Posted 20 June 2025

    We had a very badly deteriorated concrete drive and were looking to have a new tarmac one laid, Chose Steve Collins due to their reputation and competitive price. Work was booked in and did start a day late due to staff illness but we were informed on the morning nice and early. Following day they were onsite first thing and the team cracked on nicely, were very helpful and professional. The job was completed within the specified time and the standard of workmanship and overall finish is excellent. Would have no trouble recommending them and would use them again if needed without hesitation.
