Driveway/paving.
The quality of work is absolutely first rate. All staff and workmen were very friendly & Considerate. Found I had to chase them up on start dates etc more than I like but the work was completed quickly. I would be happy to recommend them.

Concrete driveway
Work was well done and looks very good. Customer communication was poor, as some good weather days were missed, completed 3 weeks late.
Customer in Uxbridge,
17 January 2012Response from Approachways Limited:
This driveway was started in mid December and was programmed to take approximately two working weeks from start to finish, weather permitting. Due to inclement weather, the driveway was not sealed before the Christmas holidays. This customer was advised that we would be not working over Christmas and also that the Acrylic sealer that we use can only be applied in dry conditions with no risk of rain and with temperatures above freezing. Inclement weather will always affect our ability to carry out certain stages of any installation and although we make this perfectly clear to every customer, unfortunately delays can occur. Approachways prides itself on extremely high standards of workmanship, customer care and value for money as our existing feedback shows and in this instance we feel that we have done everything to provide this customer with a first class installation during the winter months.

Front and side of house concreted
Despite delays in getting the work started due to the awful weather over the summer, we are very happy with the results. The work was completed as quickly as possible and to a very high standard. I would definitely recommend their work.

One long driveway, one short parking pad.
Tim and Pete were cheerful and courteous, and efficient overall. The finished driveways look superb, and complement the house well. However, polythene sheeting placed in a manhole to prevent debris from entering the sewer during the work was not removed on completion, and the new manhole cover was not freed off. We ended up clearing this to release two weeks worth of sewage one Sunday evening.

Pattern Imprinted Concrete Patio and Driveway
Given that there appear to be a lot of 'cowboy' outfits out there offering this service, I can endorse that Approachways is certainly not one of them. From the outset Pete and his team could not do enough to ensure that we approved of each step they took and went out of their way to keep the site as clean and tidy as possible. They were extremely professional and clearly there was a wealth of experience amongst the team. When one part of the patio area was wrong they came back on site to rectify it. Given this was a job that entailed laying different patterns and colours on a variety of areas within a landscaped garden, I cannot praise their work enough and it is a testament to the care they took to minimise damage and disruption that the garden was quickly restored to its former glory.

Removed and replaced worn section (16sq-m) of an original imprinted driveway
Despite very unsettled weather conditions, Andrew and his team managed to replace the damaged section satisfactorily. Andrew also had no hesitation in returning a few days later to apply another coat of sealer, as there were a couple of small "dull" patches. I would not hesitate to recommend APPROACHWAYS.

Replacement Driveway
Very pleased with the end result, would have preferred to be kept more reliably informed as to when work was to continue as the team employed were doing multiple jobs.
Customer in New Malden,
10 September 2011Response from Approachways Limited:
The awful weather in August and early September caused delays in the installation of work. This resulted in all of us at Approachways having to work extremely hard when the weather improved to catch up on fitting schedules. All customers were regularly informed as to what was happening. We at Approachways always aim to provide exceptional service but as with all exterior works we are controlled by the weather.

Large Patio (and later 2 drives) replaced with imprinted concrete.
We would not hesitate in recommending Approachways and their staff to anyone wanting new a patio or drive in imprinted concrete. In July 2011 we had our existing patio (old pavement style slabs on a concrete base) replaced and restyle with Royal Ashlar Slate imprinted concrete. The whole process worked very well and we cannot fault the friendly staff who were on time and efficient. Their quality control even picked up on a fault on one installed step, which was subsequently removed and replaced. We were so pleased with the patio work that we also had our two tarmac (laid on concrete) drives replaced with imprinted concrete in Basket weave Stone. Again the work was carried out with a professional attitude although frustratingly has yet to be finished by sealing. This is entirely due to the weather, not the installers, when it stops raining, they will put the final sealing coat down. The original quotes were compared to laying new riven stone slabs on the patio and new tarmac drives. These included the breaking up and removal of the existing concrete bases, creating new soakaways, installing new drains and grills for the drives. The quote for the patio was more expensive than laying new stone slabs but that did not include removal of the old concrete base and re-styling. The two drives were comparable to the complete relaying of the drives with tarmac, including the same removal and drain work. If it ever stops raining, photos will be uploaded.
