Highlights
"I needed a stepped side path replacing. The team took me through every step of their work, though additional work was required to rectify a potential damp issue their solution was both appropriate and affordable. The new path is attractive, much stronger and resilient than the old one and with excellent drainage. Already a couple of neighbours have commented on the quality of the work. The team were courteous, professional, they needed lots of tea but did clean up the site beautifully after they finished. I am very pleased with the result."
"We are really pleased with the work and everything from start to finish has been fantastic. Thank you Toni (in the office) for expertly guiding us through the process - nothing was too much trouble. All the workers were really tidy and took pride in what they were doing and were very considerate to our neighbours. Everything was communicated well during the process and it made the whole experience stress free for us. Nathan and the team made it all look so easy - a really skilled team of workers. Thank you."
"I needed a lot of work done in my garden including moving a garden room, demolishing an old rockery, laying new paths and patio areas, putting up fencing and laying the driveway, paths and steps around the house. Everything was completed to a high standard and I was consulted every step of the way. The workmen were hard working and friendly and went out of their way to make suggestions and improvements. They even helped to restore part of my neighbours garden which had to be cleared when erecting a new fence made from railway sleepers. My garden now looks amazing."

We employed NB Contracts to construct a new block-paved drive and to replace a large area of rotten wooden decking in the rear garden with a new patio. Because we had another project booked to start the following week we needed the work to be completed in a week. They completed the work on time and to a high standard. They have a range of equipment and resources unequalled in the area and a team of skilled and experienced workers many of whom have been with the firm for years. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
First class service from start to finish. A visit to the yard and a chat with Toni who showed us loads of pictures and examples of what we could choose from was excellent, nothing to hide here. The installation was seamless with all the team showing skill and expertise throughout. We are more than happy with the results. Would recommend N B Contracts 100%, you won't be disappointed.
The whole project was carried out in a professional, methodical and well organised way. Communication was clear, supportive and caring throughout.
Very helpful and knowledgeable from19th may till 8 th june
Super professional from start to finish. Very happy with the result. Thanks so much Toni for working so hard to ensure we could meet the deadlines
Very efficient and friendly team. Only took 3 days for our beautiful drive to appear. All rubbish cleared away efficiently. Kept us informed at all stages so we understood what was going on. Would highly recommend. From start to finish it was hassle free.
We are delighted with the work! The team were able to offer advice to ensure the final result was perfect and were a pleasure to have in our garden. The transformation from a scrappy corner to a beautiful new entertaining area has been amazing.
Dean & Lee started early each day and carried on working throughout, even through the extreem heat we experienced. Brilliant work. We would certainly consider using you for any future works.
Assessed and provided quote quickly , very good communication , and fantastic workmanship
Initial email contact was responded to immediately and a visit to assess/provide a quote took place very promptly. Communication with Toni in the office was excellent and once we decided to proceed we were kept fully aware of timeframes. Dean and his team were exceptional when they arrived to complete our new driveway. They worked extremely hard, were very punctual and polite - the ‘dream team’. We are very pleased with our new driveway.
What a great overall experience! From first contact to completion, the Team were fantastic! Nathan was very courteous and respectful when he came out to give us a quote for our driveway and a drop kerb. We never felt under any pressure. Toni was a star the whole way through, a lovely lady who went out of her way to ensure we were kept informed and updated. Sam and Tom worked like Trojans throughout the project (drop kerb and block paving driveway) and did a fantastic job. Everyone was very polite, respectful and considerate. We are delighted with the work and will recommend NB to others.
We cannot recommend Nathan and team highly enough. From start to finish they were meticulous, the work was carried out to a very high standard by a team of guys who worked incredibly hard. The whole operation was run like a military operation, seamless and the end result speaks for itself. We are absolutely delighted!
Good communication. Work was completed quickly and efficiently . Work area was left tidy on completion. Pleased with the completed work
Great bunch of guys worked very hard and fast. All completed in a few days. Kept area tidy and very little mess. Highly recommend NB contracts. Driveway looks great thankyou
The whole team worked like Trojans. very organised and methodical in their roles and responsibilities. They were courteous and respectful. i can not fault them. fabulous job guys, thank you.
First day: NB gang turned up bang on time and old patio stones removed and site dug out. Crush and consolidated hardcore laid and compacted. Second Day: Edging pavers and paving slabs (Indian sandstone) laid on a very substantial layer of mortar. All well levelled and allowance made to ensure adequate run-off of rainwater. Third Day: Pointing with Easy-Joint compound and completion of French drain. These guys are hard working, very polite and considerate (they remove all mess they may have made transporting materials from truck to site. I have no qualms in recommending NB Contracts Ltd.
I would like you to know the exceptional level of customer service and satisfaction this company maintains.Having a problem occur which needed the company’s assistance they virtually dropped everything to respond and went on to resolve the issues. You may have heard it said of building companies that they do the job but if you get a problem, they don’t come back. Well not with NB , they’re brilliant. I always thought M&S and Tesco couldn’t be beaten until today. The two lads that turned up, Sam and Tom, Perfectionist . Oh yeah, Cheers Nathan.
