- Free written quotes, no obligation
- Driveways and paving across all of London
- Clear pricing and tidy, careful crews
Insurance
Ask for proof of public liability insurance before work starts.
Real addresses and reviews
Look for a trading address, a company name, real customer reviews and photos of recent work.
References and visits
Ask to speak to past customers, or see finished jobs nearby.
A written quote
It should state the area, the base depth, the materials, drainage, waste removal, timescale, payment terms and guarantee.
Your rights
If you sign a contract at home, you may have a cooling-off period. Ask about it and check the terms.
