Imprinted concrete drive

Recommended by a friend in Reigate, Brett and his team arrived punctually each day, keeping me fully informed as to when they would arrive. Every step of the process was explained to me and done to my satisfaction. Extra work was done at a low cost agreed before commencement. They were all courteous, hard working and professional. The entire job was completed as soon as the exceptionally bad weather would allow and was of a very high standard. Each day they finished work they cleaned the whole area to ensure that there was minimal mess to be trodden into the house. It was established from the beginning that final payment would only be when I was fully satisfied with the work. I had no hesitation in paying it! I would recommend this company to anyone.

Pattern Imprinted Concrete to front,side and rear of house

Our selection in using the team of Design-A-Drive has proved to be the right choice. We had the frontage, rear and side access in Pattern Imprinted Concrete which took 4 days plus an additional 2 days to wash and seal. Within this brief duration,the quality plus attention to detail was of a very high standard and visible through their passion. Their time keeping and punctuality was excellent. They would arrive by 0800 each day plus automatically ensured that they maintained a clean and safe working area. The finished product has passers by pausing and being amazed by what they see. We would not hesitate in recommending Brett and his team. Thank you Brett

Excellent workmanship. The entire project far exceeded our expectations and has improved the look of the house tremendously. Not only was the drive installed as originally requested but additional agreed improvements were included at minimal cost. Brett and his workforce were professional, courteous and extremely helpful at all times. The entire work was carried out with the minimum of disruption and I would have no hesitation in recommending Design a drive to anyone.
