Equity Drives Limited

Jon and his team did an amazing job on our (long) drive. Edging, block paving, excavation - all done superbly.

We are absolutely thrilled with our new block paved driveway! The team was incredibly professional, hardworking, and polite throughout the entire process. They clearly take pride in their work, paying meticulous attention to detail from the initial digging to the final laying of the blocks. The finished product has completely transformed the look of our house, and we've received many compliments from our neighbors. The site was left clean and tidy at the end of each day. We highly recommend equity.drives.

Equity Drives did a fantastic job transforming my rather embarrassing looking driveway and helped me utilize the space from a 1 car driveway to a spacious 2 car driveway. They were courteous, professional and on time. Communication was fantastic. My wife and I are thrilled with the end result and I will not hesitate to use their services again in transforming my garden in the near future. Thank you to Danny, Jon and the entire team on a job well done!

We engaged Equity Drives to replace the block paving around our house and to extend it along our tarmac drive. John and his team were amazing. The guys worked really hard, putting in long days. They were all so polite and courteous. The work was excellent, and completed in a highly professional manner. We had a plant area enlarged. Much to our surprise and delight, the team even filled it with extra soil and laid turf on a small grassed area of pavement. I would 100% recommend. Thank you John.

We selected three companies to provide quotes for a resin drive and new garden walls. Equity Drives was the only company that measured the existing front garden for all our requirements, and therefore, we knew that their quotation was based on factual evidence. During the quotation process, continual advice was given on how our requirements could be improved and a detailed description of the construction process was also given. Locations of previous work were provided so that we could view the quality of their work. It was reassuring to know that Equity Drives were accredited installers of the resin drive, and we were directed to the resin manufacturer’s website to request free samples to choose the colour we required. Work commenced in the last week of August as planned. The construction team arrived approximately 7-30 am each morning and prepared themselves to start work at 8 am. The team worked until 5 pm each day and then cleared up, often leaving around 5-30 pm. It should be noted that, depending on the activities being performed, the team continued to work during periods of light rain. During construction, ideas on improving the design and layout were provided, with any additional work clearly costed and advised. The drive and garden walls are of excellent quality, with many neighbours remarking on how good the garden looks and how hard the team worked. The final invoice and total payment were in line with the initial quotation supplied.

What a fabulous group of guys. John and his team were so helpful. Answering any queries and concerns I had in a very professional manner. The work was completed to a very high standard in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking of having work done.

I have had the pleasure of working with Equity Drives twice now - once for our garden and again for our driveway, and I couldn't be happier with the results! John is an absolute professional, and his team works incredibly hard to deliver top-notch work. They were punctual every day, arriving sharp at 8 am, and the end result exceeded our expectations. But what really impressed us was their courtesy and respect for our neighbours - they were considerate of noise levels and kept the site tidy, earning the appreciation of those around us. The quality of their work is exceptional, and I'd highly recommend Equity Drives to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality services. John's expertise and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of the job. We're thrilled with the outcome and can't wait to work with them again!

We would definitely recommend Equity Drives and their workmanship. We chose to have our front drive block paved, including the installation of raised beds, guttering, a 3-metre brick wall, and provision for electrics under the paving leading to the pillars. John was thoroughly professional during the quotation process. He understood our requirements, showed us sample blocks in our preferred colour, and documented the design, with every detail clearly in the contract. The installation team began work on the agreed date. They were punctual each morning, well-organised in their workflow and material deliveries, and consistently courteous to our neighbours and pedestrians. They worked diligently, were open to suggestions, and maintained a tidy work area throughout. The team also installed 3 security bollards supplied by us, and replaced the step leading to our door with one matching the drive at an additional cost agreed beforehand. The installation was completed within three days. Our drive has transformed brilliantly; we are extremely pleased with the quality of workmanship and the overall result.

I highly recommend John and his team at Equity Drives. They offered excellent advice, were punctual, professional and highly skilled. We are so pleased with the end result, which looks fantastic and received many compliments. We look forward to working with them again on future projects.

From initial contact to completing the work, we cannot fault John and the team. Throughout they were professional, reliable, timely, hard working, tidy, friendly and accommodating. My wife and I are not just impressed with the end result but over the moon on the great job done. It has transformed the front of our house and also since completion a few days ago, at least two people have stopped and admired the drive and taken a photo of the Equity Drives Ltd sign! We would 100% recommend Equity Drives Ltd to anyone who is considering having there driveway done.

I engaged Equity Drives to lay two new resin bound permeable driveways for us. I got three quotes from different companies, chose Equity as they came across as professional, customer focused and keen on doing a quality job. Pricing was very close between all three quotes. On appointment Equity came around, took more detailed measurements, wrote up a detailed specification of all the work including drawings with notes and we signed an agreement there and then. We paid a c10% deposit at this point. A few weeks later I was contacted with a proposed date to start which we agreed, the team turned up early on the first day and cracked straight on with the work. They removed all the existing driveway and replaced it with a resin bound drive (foundations of type 1 hardcore and permeable tarmac) with block work around the edges. All the work was completed in a week, the team worked incredibly hard - turning up early each morning and not leaving until late, they were polite and a real pleasure to have around. The end result is gorgeous, we are really happy and have had no end of compliments from neighbours. It's also permeable (throw a bucket of water on it and it just disappears!). I have no hesitation in recommending Equity Drives.

Outstanding work by Danny, John and their team. We can't praise them enough for their experience and endless hard work in undertaking our garden improvements. We are so pleased with the end result. An enormous thank you to you all.

Review for Block Paving Driveway Installation We recently had our driveway completed with block paving, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! The team did an excellent job, working efficiently and completing everything on time as promised. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship really stand out, and the finished driveway looks fantastic. They kept everything tidy throughout the project and were professional from start to finish. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for high-quality driveway. Thank you for a job well done!

We asked Equity Drives to install new fencing around our back garden. John listened carefully to our requirements and the end result is superb. The team was at all times considerate and hard working, arriving on time and leaving after 5 pm. Some more difficult corners down the sides of the house were finished beautifully. They cleaned up everything and left the borders looking tidy, with some new soil added. Work was completed on schedule and on budget.

We hired Equity Drives to convert our old unloved front garden into a modern and useful 2-car parking area. John and his team have been a pleasure to work with and they have done such a neat and efficient job they deserve praise. Each team member knew exactly what to do and they obviously knew their job inside out. We are genuinely impressed with the work they have carried out and very happy with the way the driveway looks. Well done Equity Drives.

We cannot rate this company highly enough! John (manager) was friendly, approachable and took the time to listen to what we wanted to achieve with the front garden. The workmen were extremely polite and friendly. They were very punctual and worked extremely hard completing our work within three days. They even ensured the street and road was clean and tidy as they worked and at the end of the day! The standard of work is fantastic! Also to my surprise they even backfilled some soil in my neighbours garden and put soil in our new flower bed (I wasn’t expecting this at all).

Brilliant from start to finish. Went over the plan for the driveway and the options of materials. Work was completed swiftly to a high standard taking care to ensure everything was left clean and tidy. Definitely would recommend equity drives

John and his team were a pleasure to deal with, turned up on time, prepared and ready to go. No messing about and cleaned up after themselves everyday. They went above and beyond on the job, neighbours constantly complimenting the work each day. I am so happy with the end product and glad I went with Equity Drives. They are the Real Madrid of landscaping. Thanks again John, we are so overwhelmed.

Highly recommend this company! ! From the first initial contact through to completion we reieved the highest quality of service & work. John & his team were absolutely brilliant, super efficient & very highly skilled. They were the first company we contacted for a quote & the only as we were very impressed from the get go. They were prompt with making contact & sending our quote over. The team had a strict 8.00 to 17.00 workday, completing the driveway in just 4 days to the highest standard. We are super pleased with this company, the service received & our completed driveway.

John and his team replaced an old concrete drive, lawn, and part of an L-shape flower bed with a new resin-bound drive totalling approx. 100 square metres. They also built a new retaining wall for a section where the ground next to the drive is 40cm lower and made some changes to the rainwater drainage. I could tell that this company was a cut above the others I had approached for a quote when John sent my quote less than an hour after he had visited the site to measure up and discuss details. Later he showed great flexibility when the pencil kerb I had chosen to run along the front edge next to the pavement was out of stock and would take six weeks to be delivered. There being no alternative pencil kerb close enough in colour, he was willing to change that edge to bricks (the same as the sides) so that the work could start the following week. He also agreed to change the layout of the remaining part of the flower bed after the lawn had been excavated. Work started promptly at 8 a.m. on all of the six days they were here and usually finished around 5 p.m., although later than that on two of the days (one because the asphalt delivery was an hour and a half late). I couldn't be more satisfied with both the workforce and the work they did.

Very impressed by the outstanding customer service and workmanship Equity Driveways provided. From start to finish they delivered great communication, they were on time and very helpful with design. The workmanship was finished to a very high standard with little disruption. Would highly recommend this company.

Garden Renovation by Equity Drives Limited - Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of working with Equity Drives Limited for a complete garden and side access renovation, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. From the initial site visit to the final sign-off, the entire process was smooth and professional. They provided a clear and detailed quote, helped me choose the right paving, and communicated effectively throughout the project. Having had a bad experience with my previous builder, who had ruined my garden and side access, I was skeptical about trusting another company. However, John and his team completely restored my faith in builders. They corrected the mistakes and transformed my garden into something even better than I had imagined. What really stood out was their reliability—always starting on time and showing up on the days they promised. They were diligent in cleaning up after themselves each day, which I truly appreciated. John and his team were polite, professional, and focused. They just got on with the job without any fuss, and the result speaks for itself. I am confident in recommending Equity Drives Limited to anyone considering getting work done. They delivered quality and professionalism from start to finish!

John and his team from Equity drives have done an outstanding transformation of our driveway. Quality workmanship, punctual hardworking guys that do an excellent job. Extremely happy and would highly recommend their services.

As my first big solo project I was very nervous about picking the wrong company and doing something I would regret. I could not be happier with John and the team from Equity Drives. The work was completed in excellent time and exceeded my expectations. The quote was laid out clearly so I could make an informed decision, there was no pressure to commit to anything I didn’t want to do and even when I must have asked far too many annoying questions I was never made to feel like I was a burden. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. The follow up visit after everything had been completed to make sure I was completely happy with the work carried out was really appreciated. Thank you equity drives, I could not be happier.

We recently had our driveway installed by Equity Drives at our home in Buckhurst Hill, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Managed by John, his firm demonstrated a high level of professionalism and attention to detail throughout the entire process. From the outset, John impressed us by personally visiting our home to take measurements and provide images of completed projects similar to ours. The quote we received was detailed and professional, which gave us confidence in their service. Once we accepted the quote, we didn’t have to wait long to get started. We had a specific request to bury some cables for an EV charger, and John assured us that this wouldn’t be a problem. True to his word, his team installed the cabling per our electrician’s requirements without any issues. The tradesmen who carried out the work were punctual, diligent, and professional. They were also courteous to our neighbours, minimizing disruption during the project. The job was completed within a short timeframe, and the quality of work was outstanding. The men worked tirelessly and with great care to ensure the driveway was finished to a high standard. While not inexpensive, the price was competitive with other quotes we received, and the level of service and craftsmanship was well worth it. We highly recommend Equity Drives for anyone looking for high-quality driveway installation. Thank you, John and the team, for your excellent work!
