Highlights
“Our driveway looks really good we are so pleased with it. I would recommend United Drives for any resurfacing work that you need. They offered advice prior to commencing work and we feel it was a fair price for the very high quality finish.”
“We had uneven existing block paving. They took up existing paving, then relayed the old paving on fresh sand and a membrane to stop weed that might break through. They added a different colour boarder which made the whole drive look more modern. Once down they used an industrial sander over the whole lot to bring the old brick back to looking like brand new the fine sanded as usual. From a cost point of view absolutely fantastic. A fine job at a fraction of the cost. Recycling at its finest. Thanks very much, would highly recommend.”
“My drive looks amazing !! A big thank you to Miles and his team, hard workers, professional and polite at all times.”
Detailed reviews
We employed United Drives, to replace a resin pathway, that had only been down 5 weeks and was cracking already. They also put in a new drain along the front of the house, as the previously installed resin pathway was covering the damp course in the wall. There was a mis-understanding about a small repair to my neighbour's wall I asked to be done in the original quote, which did cost extra on the first day. We were going to go with the resin again for the pathway, but after some thought we went for the block paving instead. And looking at the final result, we are very happy that we did. The workers were respectful of my neighbour's property, unlike the company that we employed before. This garden refurbishment has been a hard, costly learning experience for us, as we have had to pay out twice. But, looking at the end result now, I wish I had used United Drives in the first place. Many thanks for all the help.

Workmen polite and left the area clean and tidy, overall great job and service.
Very clean and a very professional job. Yes I would recommend them.
I recently had the pleasure of working with United Drives on my rear garden. I couldn't be happier with the results and my overall experience with this company. United Drives delivered exactly what they promised. The quality of work on both my front garden and rear garden was exceptional. They paid attention to every detail, and the final results exceeded my expectations. I was pleasantly surprised by the competitive pricing for the quality of work they delivered. United Drives offers great value for the services they provide, and I felt like I got more than my money's worth. The team at United Drives was incredibly reliable. They showed up on time, kept to the schedule, and completed the projects within the expected timeframe. This reliability made the whole process stress-free. They were skilled, hardworking, and always had solutions for any issues that arose during the projects. Their expertise and dedication were evident in the final results.
Our wide drive was relaid and looks great. The team were friendly and a pleasure to have around. Any questions we had were quickly responded to. We agreed to the additional sealer which was expensive - time will tell whether this was a good investment!
The varicoloured paving slabs on our drive, patio and paths had become uniformly grey . United Drives cleaned and restored the colour and refilled all the joints between the slabs so it all looks newly laid. We are very pleased with the result and would recommend United Drives.
Work completed in 4 days with minimum disruption.Old driveway and front garden dug out and removed in an afternoon. John ,Miles and their team kept us informed of each step in the process.The team started work at 7.45am and worked through until 5pm each day and were friendly and polite.Would definitely recommend.
Excellent quality of work, completed within the quoted timescale and for the quoted price. Hard-working, polite and friendly operatives. The only (minor) flaw was the tidying-up process which could have been better - cigarette ends and fragments of brick left on the lawn.
