  Dig out and lay a driveway for cars and bikes

  The finished product is the worst I have ever seen, we have marks where they have rolled, indentations where they have obviously left the roller standing while doing work , uneven all over and motorbike sinks into tarmac , tried to get sorted they just ignore until you keep on, then try to blame the hot weather and that roller marks are superficial and standard practise. They had already told me it would cost a lot to dig up and replace, now trying to use the above to say we should of expected that.

  Resin drive

  Well what can I say, total driveways were amazing, james was extremely helpful and kept us informed at all times, the job his boy's did was excellent, it was a very hot day and they worked extremely hard, they thanked me for refreshments and ice creams, they were extremely pleasant and respectful, I would not hesitate to have them back, our resin driveway has never looked better, thankyou james and the boy's.

  Block Pave Driveway

  There are too many errors to note but in brief, they left an unskilled worker to complete my drive on his own and they had to come back and dig up his work and re-do it as it was so bad, this was only after I had pointed it out. They damaged my house with equipment and didnt tell me, and the edging blocks crumbled the first time I drove over them and needed to be re-done. Steve the director called me at 7:30 one morning and accused me of finding fault to avoid paying, he was very aggressive to me and threatened me with small claims court and said that 'No Drive is Perfect!

  Response from Search Builders Ltd

  Total Driveways always strives to give excellent service & work at all times, we are always here to help all our customers, we have a full time dedicated office manager & care about doing a great job everytime. The before & after pictures of your new driveway have been uploaded in our gallery, we are more than happy to put our name & stamp to this project. Unfortunately during your job you called in your cousin several times to challenge our work on several occasions of which we had to stop work & pull up materials to demonstrate depths etc and levels of which in every instance we had carried out correctly. We had a written contract with you however you asked for extra work to be carried out of which you had not paid for. To try and meet you in the middle at huge financial cost we installed an expensive front step & carried out a hot lay tarmac front edge even though these were not included in your quotation. We always try our best but despite spending money and listening to your feedback nothing was right in your eyes we are sorry you felt this way.
