Highlights
"The Riverside team cold called - and having seen the state of my drive, its herringbone bricks covered in moss and weeds, I wasn’t really surprised- offering to clean everything up, finishing with a detergent sealant and new sand. It was a filthy job, but they were cheerful and conscientious, did everything in a couple of hours and tidied up every scrap of mess. I have no idea if they were expensive or not, but the price they asked I was willing to pay and I am more than happy with the result."
"Riverside were working in my local Farncombe, Surrey area on a chimney repair, so I asked if they could help me and replace some slipped roof tiles. Having finished the present works, they soon arrived with ladder and within an hour completed my small but important roof repair. Many thanks for being helpfull and completing an exellant and speedy repair. Recommended by Mike Yarham"
"I recently had my driveway replaced with block paving and couldn’t be happier with the results. It has completely transformed the front of my home. Highly recommended. 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.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
