What information do you publish about each project?
The town, the year, the surface used, how the ground was prepared and how edges, drainage and covers were dealt with — alongside our own photographs and site video. That is enough to compare our work with another quote on a like-for-like basis.
Can I visit a completed job?
Frequently, yes. Ask at survey stage and we will point you at recent work near you that is visible from the road, so you can look at edges, joints and falls yourself before deciding.
