“I recently had my driveway resurfaced by South Wales Surfacing, and I am delighted with the results. From the outset, John was professional, punctual, and approachable. He took the time to discuss my requirements in detail, offering helpful suggestions and ensuring that I understood the process every step of the way. The workmanship was outstanding—the surface is smooth, level, and has greatly improved the overall appearance of my property. The crew worked efficiently, completed the job on schedule, and left the area clean and tidy. I was particularly impressed by their attention”

Highlights
“John came out to survey the job the day after initial enquiry was made, which was really impressive and the quotation followed swiftly the next day. We accepted the quote and the date was given and even though we changed our mind from the original job, John was happy to amend our plans to carry out even more work. We had excellent communication from John at every stage of the work and are really pleased with the transformation at our property. We would highly recommend south wales surfacing for all landscape works, John also carried out works for my neighbour and another family member. 10/10”
“Excellent work, flexible on dates. Changes accommodated in the original price”

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.
