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

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!

Work partially completed but very aggressive to deal with

We hired Equity to replace the grouting on our patio, a small repair to a tile and jet wash it. They did the job but I had to ask them to return to re-do the tile repair as it had been done in the wrong colour and the jet washing was not throughly done. They returned quickly and sorted the repair but were not able to improve on the jet wash finish, which had been done to a much higher standard by another company the previous year. My main issue was the aggressive manner in which they began demanding payment before I had even had a chance to return home and check the job. As it transpired, it did need redoing so I am glad I was not bullied into paying sooner. The incessant calling and texting over 2 days despite me providing a timeline for checking and paying became threatening and unpleasant and I cannot recommend using them both on grounds of quality or approach. Sadly, very unsettling to experience.

Equity Drives; John and team can be summed up in one word - Excellent!! The level of professionalism, care and customer attention is superb. We are so glad we went with them after having several quotes and seeing several driveways. Our driveway looks amazing but what's more important is the foundation and that sets them apart. They dig deep and they have prepared a very solid base which gives me a lot of confidence in longevity. The guys were polite, courteous and cleaned up afterwards. I’d highly recommend them if you want a driveway that stands out from the rest. Thanks John and team!!

Having my drive completed by Equity drives was the best decision I could have made. From my first meeting with Danny he was knowledgable and helpful and I knew I wanted to work with them. I had various other quotes but none compared with Equity. I was very particular with what I wanted and Danny was patient sending me samples on numerous occasions until I got exactly what I wanted. Other companies quoted two weeks to complete the work where Equity completed in 2 days!!The team were punctual, courteous clean and tidy. I have had numerous compliments and would definitely recommend Equity.

We recently moved into a new property and urgently needed our driveway extended so did not hesitate to contact John and his amazing team to complete the job, as we have used them previously for our driveway. As expected, we continued to be impressed by the overall professionalism and quality of the work carried out. John quoted for us clearly, detailing everything that we wanted and as previously, the team were so polite, tidy and worked hard from the second they arrived on site. We will certainly be using them again for our pending garden works and cannot recommend them enough to anyone who needs work done. Thank you again, we couldn’t be happier with our new driveway.

I have to say, it's impossible to find fault with Equity Drives. Their workforce was extremely courteous, conscientious and considerate, and the final result is of the highest standards. All of our neighbours have commented on both aspects to us and are highly impressed. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone.

Excellent driveway renewal by Equity Drives

I saw a driveway completed by Equity Drives near me and I could see that the quality of workmanship was at the very highest level. John came to discuss our needs and came up with some good options and suggestions. We were waiting to complete some other house building work but John booked a tentative date so we we were on his schedule. Work started exactly when estimated and John and his team worked full days to dig out and prepare the area. The team worked so efficiently and tidily, making sure that everything was swept up and nothing impacted our neighbours. We’d opted for a resin drive so the weather needed to be just right for laying it but we only waited a couple of days and the finish is absolutely superb. Our house now looks like a totally new home with a smart new front wall and new drive. My builder who’s done other recent work for us and has been building houses for 50 years says the brickwork on our wall is outstanding and he’s now taken Equity’s details to recommend them to his other customers. Overall I’d wholeheartedly recommend Equity Drives, the project came in at exactly the price quoted, on time and done with great skill and attention to detail (and I’m quite hard to please). It was a pleasure to have the Equity team working here and I’ve already got a patio project in mind for them in 2024. Thanks John and team.

We recently had our patio and driveway completed by Equity drives. John and his team have done an incredible job on my new driveway and patio. From start the finish I was kept well informed with the plan and even added on a few extras once we got started. They kept the working area very clean and tidy throughout the day so it would not affect the neighbours. The attention to detail and workmanship was to a very high standard. I would highly recommended them and call them for future works. Ive have had a lot of compliments on the new drive and Patio from neighbours and passers by.

Equity drive has been amazing from start to end. Danny was great at arranging an initial visit and helping us decide what would be good for our driveway. We didn’t feel forced into any decision. The team on the day were very professional & courteous throughout the installation. Job quality was done to an amazing standard. Highly recommend for anyone looking to use equity drive. Thank you!

I can't speak highly enough about Equity drives. They did an incredible job installing a new driveway for us. They gave a very competitive quote and were hard working, clean and the finish was to a very high standard. I have had neighbours admiring the finish all weekend and also a few who would like their number due to the professionalism and finish of the job. John the director was very good at responding to any questions or queries we had and gave us a range of options along with samples of the brickwork before the work started. They also landscaped and took out some large plants and built flowerbeds which we are very happy with. During the build they found a hidden manhole which they replaced and made a new one. We are extremely happy with the result and I would highly recommend Equity drives.
