Excellent value. For the first time in history someone has come and done what he said he would, when he said he would - and done it better.

Can't speak highly enough about the work they did for us. They are absolutely excellent. Very commendable of the owner to be so respectful, he clearly has all his tradesmen working with the utmost professionalism at all times.

Fantastic. They were absolutely brilliant. So many people are asking us who did our drive and it's a pleasure to say "The Paving Company did our drive".

Professional from the moment they arrived! The men wore the company logo and the vehicles are all sign-written. First impressions count! Add that to the organised and professional workmanship along with a free 6 year warranty. I'm very pleased and my friends and neighbours have all commented on a job well done. Thank you.

Totally transformed my front garden, I didn't realise how much space I'd lost over the years! Plenty of samples to choose from, which helped me make my decision. Well done lads! I'll be telling all my friends.

Fantastic, so pleased with our new driveway, Kerry & Darren did a brilliant job. Very competitive quote and professional throughout. Punctual, polite, clean & tidy and extremely organised. It has completely transformed the front of our house, 2 of our neighbours have already asked for quotes. We can't wait until the new year to have our patio done!.

My new garden wall looks absolutely fantastic. The drive with lights in it gives the house a nice warm glow in the evenings. Thank you Kerry and Darren for all your hard work.

Mr Kingston5.0 / 5

Darren & Kerry did a brilliant job, our driveway looks fab, both worked really hard and finished ahead of schedule. We had a few quotes but decided on the paving company as they were recommended to us by Marshalls. Very proffesional throughout, quote recieved promptly and all vehicles are signwritten. We have asked them back in the spring to re-design our back garden.

Martin McGettigan5.0 / 5

The Paving Company recently completed a driveway and walls for us. The work was completed to a very very high standard on the day they estimated and at the price agreed at the start. They could not have been more professional in ensuring the drive was exactly what we wanted and nothing was too much trouble. This combined with the fact that they did everything to ensure the project was as painless as possible for us and our neighbours by keeping the area tidy would lead me to having no hesitation in recommending them as an excellent company.

Really pleased with the results and would recommend them to anyone. They turned up early every day, worked very hard, and kept us informed all the time. Would use them again without hesitation.

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.
