We had a tarmac driveway done by these guys it looks brilliant the workmanship is top class and The advice really helped as we were stuck between two different materials Joe assessed what was better for our situation with our driveway running downhill they fitted a new tarmac driveway with block paving border and new drainage system, which really put our minds at ease as we had water in a garage before Couldn’t recommend enough

Patio – poor execution
My garden was left in an absolute state and completely unsafe for my dogs. They were informed I have dogs and yet sharp shards of broken tiles were left everywhere. One of my dogs actually sustained an injury due to unsafe condition my property was left in. A mound of sand was just dumped behind my shed, unsure of what I was expected to do with this. Part of what looks like someone’s fence has been left. Someone literally left their left over McDonald’s, with fries scattered all over the floor.
They stayed to work to get it finished in the pitch black but honestly, I feel like that was just so I couldn’t see what shoddy work had been done.
The gap that was “filled” at the bottom of the patio still has gaps. There is two whole sections of the patio area that have not been tiled and just filled with concrete (very poorly). I was only informed about them after the job was “finished”. As soon as I was able to see this in daylight it was very jarring and I’m confused as to why it wasn’t tiled when I had tiles spare. Tiles that have been laid are chipped. There are gaps in the grouting. The leveling string went under half the tiles. The patio is not level in the slightest, each tile tilting a different direction. Tiles are loose and moving. There has even been a part of the packaging left on a tile that’s been laid. My planters were left dented, gate and frame chipped and scuffed, bucket destroyed. I was told the first day was just meant to be prep, not a rushed hack job.
They took £2,500 from me, insisted he needed to take payment before job was complete and I’ve just been left with damaged property and a poor execution of a patio that already had a base in situ.
Was told he would come back to inspect the work but after 3 weeks of messaging him, and being told “this week”, then a week later saying “I said this week”, still not come out to discuss any solutions.
Great service and very accommodating
We recently had our front drive and back patio done by Patton drives and patios. The whole process was really simple and smooth, they did a great job on both the tarmac and the block paving for a reasonable price. Really happy with the service, quality and speed of the job.
Great job
Had my front block paved. Really pleased with the results they removed front wall saved the original iron fencing so I could repurpose it . Gave really good advice what would look good. All done very quickly and good quality. I would definitely recommend.
Scammers! Stay away!
Do not trust this company! Poor quality of work, atrocious customer service, completely unreasonable and aggressive.
Pressured me into giving them the job in the first place. Pressured me for payment before completion of work. The patio I’d paid a significant amount for was laid to a poor standard. The issues I was left with included:
-Two whole sections of patio not tiled and just filled with concrete (not even levelled)
-Tiles chipped, not cut straight, jagged edges
-Spacers not used, so tiles aren’t lined up properly
-Patio not level in the slightest, steps down and up between tiles rather than smooth
-Loose and moving tiles
-Packaging left on tiles that were laid
-Grouting missing
-Gap next to patio not filled properly
-Property damaged
When I raised these issues, I was told I’m just talking about plastic left in my garden. I sent videos and pictures of evidence of the issues and eventually was offered some grouting but no other explanation of how the issues would be resolved. Plus every time someone was meant to come and inspect it/“fix” it, the owner has become aggressive and come up with an excuse not to do anything at the last minute. This has been ongoing for over 10 weeks.
I’ve since consulted a different company who confirmed that it was so poor the patio is unfit for purpose and the only solution is to take it all up and refit the whole patio. Except all of my porcelain tiles they’d cut with the wrong tools are now damaged.
On consulting with the owner about this he became very verbally abusive. To the point I would not feel safe allowing him or his company on my property. As a compromise I requested a partial refund (not even enough to cover the quote for the patio refit) and he has refused with the audacity to claim I’m the one trying to take advantage of him. He has also demanded I remove my review if I want any money back.
Untrustworthy, unprofessional
Had some work done by this company, but the quality was so poor I’ve had to hire another company to redo the work. They refused to fix anything and refused to give any money back. Very unprofessional, would not recommend.
Tarmac driveway
Got my drive done by this company. Joe Patton very pushy to give his company the job until I agreed. He then tried to increase the price on the day. 2 weeks later and my drive is cracking and weeds erupting through it all over. Poor quality.
Poor standard
Had a patio laid by this company. The standard isn’t to what I expected or what was promised. The owner, Joe Patton, doesn’t seem to care.
Do not recommend
Found Joe Patton very pushy and manipulative to give him the job to lay some patio slabs. Reducing price for the quote and then upped the price after work had begun. The slabs aren’t even laid straight or lined up at all. I’d recommend people stay away. He uses aggressive sales techniques but can’t deliver on the quality of work.
Refuses to fix poor work
Had a patio laid by this company. However the standard was well below satisfactory. I documented all of the issues and consulted with Joe Patton. He claims he lives in Scotland and refuses to come back and fix the work.
Unreliable
Had some work done recently but found them very unreliable. They either don’t turn up at all when they’re meant to or turn up with zero notice.
