Highlights
"This is the second time we’ve worked with Hugh, and once again, we couldn’t be happier. This time, he helped prepare the groundwork for our shed and greenhouse, as well as paving and fencing. It was a slightly tricky project as we had other tradespeople coming and going, but Hugh was incredibly accommodating throughout. His work was exceptional, delivered on time, and carried out with complete professionalism. What we especially appreciate is his attention to detail and precision — his measurements were absolutely spot on. Thank you so much, Hugh, for another fantastic job!"
"Really happy with our new brick driveway and step. It took a little longer to get finished but that was down to the awful weather we had, however Hugh always kept us up to date with where he was at and was a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend."
"Hughie was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and we are really pleased with our new patio. Great attention to detail and a very professional job. He was a great help in suggesting materials and layout and when he started the job he grafted all day. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Whorriskey Paving"

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
