Couldn’t be happier

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!

I had a large patio area with walled flower beds and garden path constructed at the rear of my property and a new driveway installed at the front. The men turned up on time every day and worked quickly to complete the whole job in only 9 days. All the work was done to a high standard and they accommodated fully all my wishes regarding the materials and design used. Very happy with the result.

I would have no trouble in recommending Equity drives after they did fantastic work on our front drive and back garden. I couldn't be more delighted with the professionalism of John and the behaviour of his men who worked so hard in some awful weather conditions. My wife and I are absolutely delighted with the results and it was money very well spent

Outstanding service and quality of workmanship

Two years ago I had paving laid at the front and side of my house by incompetent builders. When it became a trip hazard and I could no longer live with it I did my research and found Equity Drives Limited. John replied to my email immediately and came to see me the next day to do a survey, make recommendations and give me a quote. I trusted John from the word go and his team of workmen were able to start earlier than the date originally given. The team worked from morning until evening everyday until the job was completed and they left every evening leaving no mess whatsoever . Their workmanship is undeniably first class and John and the team have restored my faith in the building industry. There are still great people out there and we just have to find them. Thank you John and thank you to all your workmen for their outstanding work, attention to detail, their courtesy and approachable manners. I would not hesitate to recommend Equity Drives Ltd to anyone and they will remain at the top of my list of contacts for any work I might need in the future.

Driveway refurbishment.

Our driveway was a mess. It was breaking up and uneven. After reviewing traders on Which? and other sites, we requested quotes for the work. Equity Drives came came to inspect the job and gave us a price which was in line with other quotes received. We preferred Equity as their offer better matched our requirement. Work started on the agreed date with the workers arriving punctually each day. They worked hard and were polite, cleaning up after themselves. They broke out all the existing concrete, removed a low wall and our front door step, and dug out down to the agreed depth. Type 1 laid on top of membrane with sand etc on top of that. All compressed with a wacker plate. They sorted out problems with the tube carrying our network cable, at my request. A new front door step with two steps instead of the original one was built, rain water drainage was installed at the entrance to the drive feeding into a soakaway and a new fence installed in place of the original wall. The block pavers were then laid. They also laid a narrow strip of concrete just inside our gates into the back garden, at my request, as the original concrete was breaking up and making it difficult to open those gates. They worked quickly, without fuss or undue mess, discussed any issues with us, all to our complete satisfaction. In all, we are completely satisfied with the end result. The job was completed sooner than originally suggested and on budget.

John and his team at Equity Drives were really excellent from start to finish. I had a large crescent shaped in and out driveway with a side area and passage down the side of the house all excavated, levelled and premium block paving fitted with threshold drainage channel all along the house wall including 2 bow bay windows. A raised D-shaped lawn all edged finished the job. Their quality of work and attention to detail is second to none. As evidence my neighbour immediately had John do his drive! I wholeheartedly recommend Equity Drives. 10/10 on all fronts!

We had a good experience with Equity driveways. First we had a vist when they measured for the work. They were very prompt with an estimate and we agreed the price. They phoned with a date to start the work they turned up on time they were very clean workers and we now have a fantastic new Driveway
