"Happy with quote done with a quick but very experienced visual check. Team arrived early (7:45am) on the day, great blokes. Removed rotten wood decking and replaced with brick/block paving in the back garden. Covered sewage access point discovered, but quickly resolved with appropriate cover (and fair adjustment to the invoice) Done by 3pm ISH, very good all round, very happy. We had fencing repair next day and they were impressed and exchanged details with them. They removed all the old decking and even jet washed the bigger patio slabs next to it Looks great, very happy."

Roy and his team were very friendly and did a great job. He was great at communicating with me and my partner. Roy and his team cleaned my patio and repointed it ready for the spring and it looks amazing. Thank you Roy!

Roy and his team did a fantastic job on our new driveway. Roy was always true to his word and easy to communicate with. His team did a great job with no corners cut and were very tidy, cleaning up after themselves each day. A couple of my neighbours commented on how tidy they were. No money was requested up front, only in full on completion of work. They put in new fencing along the boundary line, rebuilt a small wall and put in new block paving. We are so pleased with the end result, it really does look fantastic. I have no hesitation in recommending Roy and his team.

Positive experience using Roy to manage the complete overhaul of a large driveway and to rebuild a retaining brick wall. Roy was very helpful in the design and selection of materials. For me, the standout benefits of using Roy and his team were excellent punctuality in the whole team arriving on site, the great work ethic, the bricklaying skills and the precision timing of waste removal and delivery contractors. Roy manages his team and the 3rd party contractors in a very efficient manner. I definitely recommend Roy and the team at Driveline.

Reliable hard working team managed by Roy. Very flexible with regards to timings and any tweaks that design needs. Roy’s team are extremely hard working and Roy checks in on them numerous times during the day to ensure everything running smoothly. Have already recommended to neighbours and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Drive extension to both the left and right, matching existing block paving. Roy and his team were wonderful from the initial quote and all the way through. Great price and a thorough and thoughtful service. The job was quick and really reasonably priced. Roy was lovely to deal with and regularly checked to make sure everything was as we wanted before during and after. Service and workmanship was A* - we couldn’t recommend him more! He’s transformed our drive and it’s made a huge difference

Recently had Roy and his team complete some fencing work and a patio in my garden. I was slightly hesitant as the building world is not something I’m confident with however Roy was fantastic at explaining what was needed to achieve the desired outcome. Would recommend to anyone looking for similar work.

We had our driveway done by Drive Line and Roy with his workers are always punctual and on time. He is always in contact and lets you know exactly when he'll be around and what will be done. The boys did great on the driveway and tidied up after themselves. Highly recommend Drive Line.

Honestly can’t speak more highly about Roy. Always so reliable, excellent communication, great team who does an amazing job. Very efficient and all work done in a timely manner. Roy also helped me with some work that my other builders left behind. I can’t thank Roy enough for always being there when needed. Thank you!

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.
