“I am absolutely overjoyed with my new patio. The boys are extremely professional, neat and today and have done an absolutely exceptional job. The quote was quick and easy, we agreed a start day, and job completed when predicted. The lads turn up every day on time, crack on with the job, and only came to me with ideas that would make my patio even better. Finally I have found a company that delivers what it promises, on time, to cost, and, way above expectations. These guys are proper grafters and craftsmen, and I very much look forward to them doing further work for me very soon.”

Highlights
“Excellent work carried out by FWV Groundwork’s, would highly recommend! Time keeping excellent, Frank kept me updated daily with what he was doing that day, he suggested a raised sleeper bed for the garden which looks perfect! (This was of course extra to what had been quoted previously ) His idea was brilliant!! FVW were exceptional when it came to tidiness and cleaning up at the end of each day. Everyone that has seen my garden is super impressed, I have recommended them loads already!”
“After a few seperate quotes we decided on Frankie and Eugene to transform our muddy builders yard of a garden: They sorted out our rotting, broken, raised bed into a very sturdy, long lasting, modern sleepers one. and Sorted out a whole new patio for us too. They did a such a great, 5 star, neat job! They came next day to come and look at the job before quoting, giving me lots of good affordable advice on what to do. The quote included them sourcing all the materials needed, which was one less stress for me. They showed up on time, worked hard, cleaned up, and completed the jobs quickly. Thank you”

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.
