WANTED: Lay a driveway

Recommended Posts

I asked for recommendations on the EDF about four weeks ago and researched a few recommendations.Frankito my neighbour said his friend Liam had done his driveway in paving slabs, which looked good, but not what I was looking for, as I wanted block paving.However I contacted Liam,who called and said it was not the type of work he did, "but he knew a man who did". Liam contacted his friend Seamus who duly called a few days later, we discussed the requirements and at the end of the week I received his quotes for doing the job in two different ways.I opted for the slightly more expensive option and Seamus, his father Tom and Tony started the following Monday.Absolutely no money was requested until the job was completed, they worked quickly and cleanly and even removed quite a lot of brick rubble I had from a wall I had demolished,this was done at no extra charge whatsoever,needless to say I gave them a drink on top for this but Seamus said this was not necessary. I now have a beautiful brindle coloured block paved driveway with charcoal coloured border, it looks superb. If any of you need a great block paved driveway contact Seamus Kane on 07539 196074.A great job well done.My thanks also to Frankito for giving me the contact details to enable me to get such a good result.I should add that Liam phoned the Sunday after completion to check if I was happy with the result, which of course I was and still am.

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
