Highlights
"Very happy with my new paving. Ron and his team were punctual, friendly and efficient. They lifted and removed the original concrete in my yard and laid Indian sandstone. Would 100% recommend."
"Ron came out to do a quote for us within two days of placing the advert. The work was started within two weeks, and after just a few days we now have a whole new garden with a beautiful patio and footpath, new turf, and sturdy shed base ready to go in the spring. We cannot fault Ron and his team, worked through wind and rain to get the job done to a really high standard, and no mess left behind. Thank you all so much!"
"Ron and the team were really good, working through so atrocious weather to get the job done. All work seems of a good standard and the price was very reasonable"

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
Run the Cowboy Checker on City Paviours before you contact them.
