D.Plumridge Professional Driveway & Patio Construction

Darren and his team just did our patio. They provided us with a great patio and pathway at a very reasonable price. We had a few quotes before choosing. Darren spotted some issues the other people who quoted had missed and offered solutions. The work is exactly what we wanted. We are very happy we chose them and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy people.

Plumridge installed the driveway of our current property some 15 years ago for a previous owner . It is still in excellent condition but part of the front wall was recently knocked off its foundations by a reversing van / lorry. Plumridge rebuilt the wall with matching bricks within a few days of being contacted. We are very pleased with the work and the service given. Having lived in the area for over 40 years, we have used Plumridge for work on a previous property and know that he has a first-class reputation for excellent work.

Despite the awful weather just before Christmas Darren's team did an excellent job and kept to schedule. Darren is straightforward, honest and maintains a good line of communication. He listens to your requirements and with his years of experience his advice is worth listening to. Courteney, who lead the work, is highly skilled, also a good communicator and 'on the case' at all times while his team were polite, helpful and a pleasure to have around. Due to atrocious weather and poor light there were a few snagging jobs which Courteney dealt with at the earliest opportunity. The finished result looks great.

Darren's team have done an excellent job building a new patio and replacing our garden paths. The result has made a significant difference to the overall look and feel of our garden from inside and out and the result has exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail during the work was impressive with all aspects discussed and modifications made as requested. The team that worked on the project were courteous and cleared up to the best of their ability at the end of each working day.

Having spoken to previous customers we chose Darren to complete the replacement driveway and wall. He was up front about the the wait time for the work and his quote, based on initial guidance from him and our wishes for the job,was acceptable. Darren kept us informed and involved through the whole process, and we were able to make make some additional adjustments as we progressed. The team were friendly, punctual and gave us a quality finish. The site remained tidy and the team cleaned up on the last day. Darren kept in regular contact to make sure the job was been completed according to our wishes and then did a final hand over on completion. It was worth the wait to have Plumridge complete the work.

I would like to thank Darren and his team for the exceptional job done to create a patio at the bottom of our garden. Darren took the time to discuss our requirements and make sure the plan was right for us. The dedicated team who completed the work (Luke, Paul and Mo) were extremely professional throughout the job and very respectful to the rest of our garden. They explained everything as they went along and checked we were happy on a daily basis. I could not fault them. We are so impressed, we have gotten quotes for other work to be done at the other end of our garden and also a replacement drive. Would absolutely recommend as you get what you pay for.

I can't praise this company enough Darren was very helpful in helping me decide what i wanted for my driveway and i am delighted with the finished look.The work was carried out t o a very high standard i will certainly use this company again.

I engaged D. Plumridge to do a 65m2 patio and 4.5m wall and retaining wall at the end of my garden which borders a small river. I picked D. Plumridge as they did my front drive a couple of years ago and were excellent. The work was tricky as it involved working in a running river to place the concrete posts for the retaining wall. However the works were completed ahead of time to a level of quality in excess of expectation. The crew were polite and friendly and communicated excellently as to their progress, what decisions needed to be made and what the outcomes may be. As a result we had no issues with the works, as we were away on holiday when they were completed we had to report some minor snags on our return, which were fixed on the same day.

Had Darren's company back as they did my patio 3 years ago, which we love, and they have just layed my new driveway. Thank you to Luke and Paul for being so hardworking and efficient. All were very respectable of our home. We would not hesitate to have the company back.

Darren offered some very good advice at the initial quotation and from the start to finish of the work Paul and Michael worked closely with us to make sure that everything was to our liking, The wait time for the work to begin may be a little longer but the end product makes the wait all worthwhile. We highly recommend this excellent company

Darren quoted for a new cobblestone driveway in July 2021. The work was completed in October 2022. Although there was a bit of a wait, it was WELL WORTH IT. Darren stuck to his original quoted price and the workmanship was superb! The tradesmen were friendly and courteous, and the end result was outstanding. I have had many comments from passers by on how good the driveway looks. I would not hesitate to recommend Darren and his team. They are clearly professionals and the end result is faultless.

Communication was good from start to finish. Knowledgeable and experienced which gave confidence. Team were polite, hardworking and helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Attention to detail. Job completed on time and to an excellent standard for a fair price. The result is a beautiful driveway. Very happy.

Darren quoted me for a new drive around 6 months ago. He stuck to the original price and completed the work as wanted. Darren was always contactable throughout the job and very approachable. They stuck to the timescale given and I am really happy with the end result. Thanks guys!

I contacted Darren to replace the ten meter front path at my elderly parents' house. He was easy to get in touch with and to arrange a site visit. He came up with a couple of ideas to improve access to the house which I hadn't thought of and took him up on them. He suggested a paver that would allow easy use of a wheelchair and a Zimmer frame without detracting from the look. He stuck to the quote which was a fair price for the work involved. The team arrived promptly and worked hard to get the work done. They were all very respectful of my parents' property and were friendly and polite. A couple of months after completion I noticed a couple of minor snags. I contacted Darren and they were at the house the same day to sort it out. This is often an area where a company can let themselves down by failing to respond to snags and completely ignoring you. Darren's response was great. First class service, would highly recommend.

We were very happy with our front drive transformation carried out eight years ago by D Plumridge. Recently noticed a few blocks had sunk. Contacted Darren as we weren’t sure what the problem was. Even after eight years he arranged for the problem to be fixed. So we are very happy and feel this is an excellent example of after sales customer service. Highly recommend this professional company if you are considering having a new drive.

Darren and his team installed a new drive using Bradstone cobbles and built a new front wall with ornate railings we also had lighting installed. The new drive looks amazing! We are very pleased with the end result! Many of our neighbours have also commented on how good it looks

Prior to starting work, I liked a specific stone for my driveway but I don’t know the name. I asked another company: looking at the picture, they did not know or said the wrong stone name. When I showed the picture to him, he recognised. He is very fast, efficient and professional in his work. He is very supportive and able to discuss other work: irrigation and light: He recommends his colleagues who are also very professional in their work. He has done our front driveway which is very big and turned out beautifully. We recommended him to our friend recently. He has completed work very well in my friend's home.

Darren’s team built us a gorgeous new 130m2 patio. The work went very smoothly, they accommodated our requests, met the brief well and left everything tidy once they were finished. There were a couple of bits they couldn’t finish as we were waiting on another job to be completed but Darren helpfully promised to return to finish off the job at a later date. Would definitely recommend them.

Replacement drive with extension and a new wall. The team worked quickly and accurately and we are very pleased with the look and style of the driveway. We were given good suggestions about the design. It was completed to the quote given. Courtney and the rest of the team kept us informed at all stages about what was being done and what would be happening next. We would have preferred to choose the colour of the pavers and bricks in advance to ensure that we got what we wanted as we were only able to choose from what was available at that moment.

After being recommended by a neighbour, we met Darren and his team, very professional from the beginning, upfront about the costs and the hidden pitfalls we could potentially face. His build team, let by Courteney were brilliant from the outset, having to dig out an existing patio and heavy clay by hand to finding solutions to tackle the drainage and then turning out something that was far better than we had anticipated. The communication was excellent whilst we waited for them to start the job and also all the way through the build. Very very good, would recommend to anyone.

I sourced D.Plumridge Professional Driveway and Patio Construction from Which Trusted Trader. Darren Plumridge is a very approachable, responsive and hands-on owner who takes a strong personal interest and pride in the work done by his team. He was quick to respond to my initial query and followed up promptly in November 2021 with a written quote which gave several options for the replacement of my forty-year-old paved driveway. He also organised for samples of the proposed paving to be sent to me and was happy to provide reference sites. There was a rather long lead time for the works, which eventually started in April 2022 following a couple of prompts from me to secure a firm start date. No complaints at all about the quality or speed of the work, nor with the experienced three-man team deployed to the task. They were punctual, pleasant, courteous throughout, and tidied up at the end of each of the three days that they were on site. The coordination between each of the several sub-teams involved in the job was exceptionally good. Darren made several trips to examine progress for himself and was kept informed throughout by the on-site lead by phone and with photos. He and his team made useful recommendations which noticeably improved the look of the finished driveway. The initial quote was materially accurate, as was the estimate for the duration of the works, and I have no hesitation in recommending D Plumridge to other customers.

Plumridge landscaped our front drive in October 2021 and really pleased with the results. Certainly a few neighbours have commented on the drive and others in the road have asked for the details to potentially use Plumridge. The team is good and pleasant to deal with and worked through the various options with us. You have to be prepared to wait, Plumridge is popular, but I’d say the wait is worth. The only downside is the time between quote and work commencing means that the original design discussion is forgotten in the intervening months and so it feels like starting from scratch and then having to make quick decisions on some aspects, which could have been discussed if they had been asked in advance. Otherwise I would recommend to others.

I have had my front garden converted into an off-road parking space. Darren provided good advice and answered all my questions in a very straightforward manner; he gave me a sense of confidence from the first time I met him. His team were all very professional, turning up on time and working hard for three full days. I am very pleased with the result, and am very happy to recommend Darren.

Darren and his team did a superb job at installing our new bespoke patio. I met Darren last year after finding his details on Bradstones approved installers list. From the beginning it was apparent that Darren and his team have been doing this for a long time. His advice and direction help shape the whole process. Paul, Michael and Josh did a superb job at the installation. They worked cleanly, thoughtfully, and tidily. Every day we managed to have a catch-up chat in the garden to discuss the finer details. All three were a pleasure to have working on the patio for two weeks. I am so pleased that we decided to use Darren’s company to install our patio we are very much looking forward to relaxing and enjoying it through the summer. Thanks again for making the whole process easy and stress free for us.

Very happy with the quality and look of our new large driveway and back garden patio. Darren and his team gave us lots of good advice on materials and design before and during the project. The team were very tidy, polite and friendly, and made the whole process very easy for us. I would happily recommend them to others.
