“I’m really pleased with the work carried out on our garden. The process was straightforward from the start — I filled in a short survey online, then a technical survey followed a few days later and I was given a clear start date. The lads arrived on time each day and worked really hard to get everything done. The patio and lawn look fantastic and the finish it spot on. Great communication all the way through the job and professional.”

Highlights
“Forthcoming recently carried out a new driveway with drainage instal. Additionally, we had an area of artificial grass laid. We liased with Danny. The work was completed by his team Joe, Gary, Brad and Charlie. The team are all proper grafters and done a great job. They tidied up at the end of each day and we were so impressed with the efficiency of the team. 100% would recommend Forthcoming and would definitely go directly to them for future jobs. Thanks 👍”
“I met Mark, who is just such a nice man. He provided a quote at that meeting. The builder, Chris, worked through some awful weather conditions (November, rain, sleet, subzero temps). Forthcoming worked with my budget, for which I am forever grateful. The finished result is smart and weatherproof.”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever 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.
