Professionality, Personality and Peace of mind.
I have been trying to get my driveway installed (and house renovated) for 4 years now but due to the scrupulous nature of the array of tradesmen who I have employed and have been ripped off by, it has remained a building site and I have lost £00000’s . I then met Mev and his son. In less than 3 weeks they have transformed my dump of a front yard into an eye-catching elegant driveway. Mev, with his years of experience has guided me through the entire process, from planning and explaining each stage to advising on aesthetics, layouts, all the materials used and what pit falls to avoid. Due to the previous tradesmen having done botch jobs on the fundamentals, we couldn’t start the driveway until these previous “works” were undone and corrected. Mev, with his high level of attention to detail arranged everything, with teams of men carrying out various tasks all day, eventually enabling them to install the driveway and saving my house from collapsing due to previously "installed" disintegrating damp proofing and faulty guttering. I now have a beautifully built and painted white front wall with imposing piers fitted with regency lamps, finished off with polished sandstone pier caps and coping stones which borders a stunning newly hand laid mint fossil cobble stone driveway bordered by sweeping flowers beds. The cobbled driveway leads up to the porch which Mev saved by lead flashing it (which the tradesman neglected to do) and Mev also re-installed all the unsightly waste pipes, concealing them as they were exposed, but now you can’t see them. All these side jobs and many more were touches that Mev quietly incorporated (which other tradesmen would shout from the rooftops) which basically saved me from having to literally rebuild parts of the house as they were vulnerable to the elements. Although he will not admit it, as he learnt how badly I have suffered financially due to all the previous dodgy tradesmen, his profit margin on my project was much slimmer than it should have been (slim-none), yet he generously gave me a £ million looking driveway. His work speaks for itself as I have had compliments (and contact detail requests for Mev) from many of my neighbours who have witnessed the transformation. Mev’s crew were all so polite and friendly and they always cleaned up after themselves. The driveway has also been sealed for long lasting protection. Not only did they deliver what we had planned on, they surpassed it, for which I am highly grateful for. With my years of experience dealing with construction companies and tradesmen, it is rare to find Honest, reliable professionals like Mev and Abrham that actually care about the lasting effect their work will have on your home and your happiness. If you are fortunate enough to acquire their services, you certainly have my recommendation as you get Professionality, Personality and Peace of mind. Thank you Mev!
