“Reached out to a neighbour 6mths back asking on his driveway, he never got back. l came across Gyln company, via checkatrade I called simply due to the reviews. When he arrived, I asked if he had done jobs in the area to my shock, he replied l remember l did a job with my dad up the road. l always said if I find who did the drive and they still in business I would go with them, here stands the l son. First impression of Gyln cheerful, respectable, well-spoken and a bit cheeky, you could tell the way he spoke he would not mess you about and would be fair on the quote, and that's exactly what he was in regards to the job/quote/time. He listened, made suggestions, Gyln selected the design for the driveway and the gravel boards, can't fault him on knowing what design suits a particular property. I was able to express my thoughts on how the job was going, Glyn would always take in what l said if need be change, correct. fix or adjust the issue. When Glyn and his team arrived they got straight to work, NEVER saw Glyn drop his pace of work, or his team. It took 3 days and now l have a driveway 5stars plus. Don't waste your time searching AllWEATHER you will not be disappointed. *******”
