Initial response was quick and helpful in confirming how I would like the work done. I am awaiting a start date yet to be agreed.

Contacted Dennis to ask if he could give me a quote for some block paving at my mothers. He came around within the hour to discuss exactly what we wanted and what he would recommend. Dennis is an extremely knowledgeable, friendly and polite guy. Having agreed a price he was able to fit the job in starting on the following Monday. His team plus Dennis arrived at my mothers by 0745 and immediately started to clear the ground, by 10:00 all the ground was cleared including some extra ground my mother decided to have paved on the day. by 11:00 all the ground was cleared and hard core had been laid. Throughout the day Dennis sent me updated videos of the work being carried out as I was not at my mothers property. The following day the bricks were delivered by 10:00 and by 13:00 all the block paving had been laid across the front of the house and around the side as requested. I was impressed by Dennis and his team work ethic, removing all the dug up ground and cleaning up as they went along. They also power washed some existing block paving in the back garden re-sanded and sealed it making it look like newly laid block paving. When all the work was completed as I was not at my mothers house Dennis, sent me another video of all the work completed to make sure I was happy with all the work carried out. Dennis and his team have done an extremely good and professional job which has not only increased the number of parking spaces available at the property, it has massively increased the curb appeal of the property. I would highly recommend Dennis and his team to anyone looking to have work carried out on their drives or patios. More...

I found the team to be very professional and worked hard to complete the drive in good time. Dennis was always available to answer any questions and give advice. The price quoted was the price paid, and I am very happy with the work that was done. Also there were no upfront cost and the bill was paid when the job was finished. More...

Dennis from First Choice Drives quoted to do our drive, He was very knowable, friendly and well priced.
He listened to what we wanted and offered good advice on how we could improve the look of our house.
The work First Choice did was simply fantastic, we are so happy with the work done and will be using them again when we start on the back garden.

I found this company to be amazingly reliable, efficient and obliging. Nothing was too much and they had access to a wide range of equipment.
On the agreed day Dennis and his crew (George, Alex and George) arrived and got straight on with the agreed job. This being a large extension to our drive and the creation of a front garden feature. Also the removal of a high (nearly dead) hedge in the back garden and replacement with a substantial new fence. This work took only 3 days and during this time I was truly impressed with the work ethos of Dennis and his crew. They were there at 8am sharp, started work immediately and only briefly paused for lunch.
Dennis visited frequently, discussed the job with us and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. The end result was an excellent, attractive drive with garden feature and a new garden fence that was a great improvement on the previous 'dead' hedge.
My wife and I would like to say a heartfelt 'thank you to Dennis and his crew! I have therefore no hesitation to recommend First Choice Drives and Patios Ltd. to anyone else wanting similar work doing. This company was also very competitively priced!

Great communication, and advise. Flexible to work around your schedule. If there is more digging or rubbish to remove than estimated - no problem. They come to work every day and work untill finished. Outcome is beautiful. Number of times I was asked if I like every thing or if I like to change anything... I asked for a few adjustments and it was done right on the spot. I'am very happy with it and would strongly recommend their services. More...

After searching local companies to clean our drive we came accross EverBright, First Choice Drives gave a detailed schedule of what they had to offer and what would and wouldn't work from his experience. We arranged at day for the cleaning and First Choice completed the drive to an exceptional standard, showing great commitment and care over the quality of his work. Very professional and would recommend his cleaning service to anybody, we will be using him again. More...

Wendy Mortimer
First choice drives and patios completely transformed my drive. They were very professional from first contact. They talked through various options and prices. I chose to go with a gravel drive which they lay with a brick surround. I had the choice of colour blocks and some helpful suggestions were made. They kept to the schedule of work that they stated. I had many questions along the way asking about aspects of the work and they answered them promptly and were able to reassure me that all of the points I raised were being completed and I did witness this to be the case as the work was being done. Only when I wad fully happy with the job did they request payment. As a result I have asked them to price up further work on my patio as very happy with the service and end product I received More...

I would like to ask a question here, is it only me - had a very bad experience for buying a paving service from First Choice Paving Drives and Patois Ltd?
I read all the comments, they are all very positive. However I must leave my ridiculous experience here to let the people know.
Dennis (only his staffs finished the work on my patio on 5/10/2022, however until now - I have NEVER RECEIVED any invoices (includes - buying the porcelain and ?????) Today is 24/11/2022
Dennis told me - 'If you are not satisfy with the job, you don't have to pay.' However it is not true. He hasn't finished all the job, they just finished 90% of my patio, then he requested me to pay for the fee. I was very foolish at that moment because I trusted him so much. I paid all the amount £15800. After paying the fee, I noticed that he didn't use a proper way to pave the porcelain. No pointing between the porcelain tiles. I tried to speak to him and hoped he would rectify his fault. From his staff's description - this was the first time they used porcelain. OH MY GOD! But he tried to deny. To be honest, Dennis should try to remedy his fault, however he didn't. He is disappeared and never contacted me again.
I spent a big amount of my money to learn a lesson. Don't trust the comments on the websites.
