Highlights
"Drive Doctor have done an amazing job replacing the drive. The team were very professional at all times, nothing was to much trouble. We are so pleased, we would highly recommend using Drive Doctor. Thank you."
"We couldn’t fault the workmanship, punctuality and politeness of the Drive Doctors team. In particular Greg had the vision and ideas to transform our three small excuses for lawns into pet friendly Astroturf areas that now look smart and do not require maintenance. The addition of brick surrounds (Greg’s idea) really finished off the lawns and added definition to the areas. Nothing was too much trouble and we would definitely recommend this company."
"Greg and the team completed the work to an outstanding standard and to the stated schedule leaving the area clean and tidy."

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.
