_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_

We agreed a price for the job and a start date. He and his team turned up when agreed. On the first day they removed the original concrete slab, and did the necessary work to prepare the ground. Day 2 the pavers were laid. They not only cleaned up and removed the waste but also removed some left by a different builder for us. Makes a real difference, Tha"
