Joe and his team (Jay and Jason) have been totally professional and excellent throughout the job. They would always let me know what’s the plan for each day, checking on things and making sure that it was ok before proceeding, tidying up at the end of the day and all in all excellent. The patio has been laid perfectly and I would highly recommend them

Detailed reviews
Joe and his team were abosultely fantastic. They were all here before 8am every morning waiting to start. They were impeccably clean, ensuring every evening before they left, all mess was swept up. The job was completed on schedule with excellent quality! Would definitely recommend.
Joe and Jay are excellent and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Each day they arrived early. After everyday they would ensure they left the area tidy. Fantastic quality of the work from them. Joe and Jay have brought our dark and unloved garden back to life for us to enjoy as a family. This has made our garden feel so much bigger even after taking some for our extension. They kept us informed all the time and gave suggestions and advice when looking at what we could do and we’re really good with the family when carrying out the work answer our kids questions Thank you!

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.
