"Hired Trueway driveways to tarmac our driveway and put new fencing up in the garden. Michael and his team were absolutely brilliant. They arrived on time, got straight on with the job, great communication throughout. Worked very hard to get it done on the two days we had requested. I would highly recommend trueway driveways!!"

Michael's team relaid my patio after it had recently been done to a poor standard. Access to the back of my property can be challenging and has put some tradespeople off in the past, but it was no issue at all for Michael's team. Having had a couple of bad experiences with tradespeople before, I was understandably a bit cautious. However Michael's team were excellent from start to finish - professional, polite and very respectful throughout. The quality of their work is outstanding and I am absolutely delighted with the result. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

We had seen quite a bit of work in the area done by True Driveways and were impressed by the quality of the work. We called to get a quote on Monday, Michael came the next day and provided a really competitive quote for the work we wanted completing. I accepted the quote on Wednesday and the whole job was completed by Saturday! We were lucky that ours was a small job and his team were already in the area, so our job was completed in three separate small sessions. We are delighted with the work, it is exactly what we wanted. I would definitely recommend True Driveways.

Michael was very quick to respond to my request for a quote, came round the next day and scoped out what could and couldn’t be done based on my vague suggestions. The quote was very well priced. The work got scheduled in and was started when promised. The speed and efficiency of the team was very impressive and they kept me updated on any small alterations required. The majority of the work was done within 3 days, the final touches were hampered by the weather but finished within a couple of weeks. Very happy with the work done and would happily use them again and recommend their work.

Beautifully refurbished block paving drive with improved drainage and lower level to address damp inside. Also drainage at the back put around decking. Also work to the roof and chimney. There was a delay getting the invoice but we appreciated the excellent work and were very happy to have used True Driveways for this work. Thank you very much!

Had my driveway block paved by True Driveways. They did an excellent job, very hard workers and left the site clean and tidy every day. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

I’m absolutely thrilled with my new patio. Michael and his team have achieved a complete transformation and I’m struggling to recognise it from the old tired one. I’d have no hesitation in recommending this company. Totally professional and a hard working team.

1. The concrete strips at the entrance began to crack and crumble within 7 days of completion. 2. Weeds grew everywhere on the bricks used as the boarder line surrounding the tarmac. 3. A long gap between the bricks and the wall of the house, which was not filled. 4. Despite repeated reminders, including text, emails and face-to-face complaints, there is still no response.

Although we gave the job to a different firm, I thought the response time and communication was excellent.

The quality of the finished product was fantastic and they showed a genuine commitment to offering great customer service and attention to detail, from choosing the design to ensuring I was happy before they left.

They were lovely to deal with from start to finish. They lowered the existing drive to get below the damp proof course. Installed drainage and then installed driveway. Very happy 😊

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.
