Highlights
“We highly recommend Nathan and his team. Professional, reliable, and extremely well organised from start to finish. Communication with Toni in the office was excellent, the work was completed on time, and the standard of workmanship was outstanding. Both projects: one at our nursing home to repair cracked pathways, and another at our older persons’ sheltered housing scheme, where a stepped pathway was transformed into a smooth tarmac surface, were delivered exactly as promised and we’re very pleased with the results. We would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them.”
“I needed a stepped side path replacing. The team took me through every step of their work, though additional work was required to rectify a potential damp issue their solution was both appropriate and affordable. The new path is attractive, much stronger and resilient than the old one and with excellent drainage. Already a couple of neighbours have commented on the quality of the work. The team were courteous, professional, they needed lots of tea but did clean up the site beautifully after they finished. I am very pleased with the result.”
“We are really pleased with the work and everything from start to finish has been fantastic. Thank you Toni (in the office) for expertly guiding us through the process - nothing was too much trouble. All the workers were really tidy and took pride in what they were doing and were very considerate to our neighbours. Everything was communicated well during the process and it made the whole experience stress free for us. Nathan and the team made it all look so easy - a really skilled team of workers. Thank you.”

We employed NB Contracts to construct a new block-paved drive and to replace a large area of rotten wooden decking in the rear garden with a new patio. Because we had another project booked to start the following week we needed the work to be completed in a week. They completed the work on time and to a high standard. They have a range of equipment and resources unequalled in the area and a team of skilled and experienced workers many of whom have been with the firm for years. We would not hesitate to recommend them.

First class service from start to finish. A visit to the yard and a chat with Toni who showed us loads of pictures and examples of what we could choose from was excellent, nothing to hide here. The installation was seamless with all the team showing skill and expertise throughout. We are more than happy with the results. Would recommend N B Contracts 100%, you won't be disappointed.

We are delighted with the work! The team were able to offer advice to ensure the final result was perfect and were a pleasure to have in our garden. The transformation from a scrappy corner to a beautiful new entertaining area has been amazing.

Verified by CheckatradeNew block paved driveway
Initial email contact was responded to immediately and a visit to assess/provide a quote took place very promptly. Communication with Toni in the office was excellent and once we decided to proceed we were kept fully aware of timeframes. Dean and his team were exceptional when they arrived to complete our new driveway. They worked extremely hard, were very punctual and polite - the ‘dream team’. We are very pleased with our new driveway.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
