Amazing service, turned up at the time started and began work straight away without letting the weather stop them. The job was completed quickly leaving behind no mess. Went above and beyond to ensure the driveway was completed to a high standard as if it was their own. Very polite and respectful men even checking in with neighbours to be considerate.

I’m writing this review on behalf of my mum who has recently had the drive and front garden reworked by Advanced Drives & Patios. The front of the house looks stunning, the whole process was faultless and the workmen extremely professional.

5 star professional service from John and his team, from the survey to completion we were kept upto date throughout the job. The team was hard working, tidy and quality of the workmanship was exceptional...the completed driveway looks fantastic.

We had our driveway block paved by John and his team, From day 1 it was plain to see that Advanced were a professional company, they cleared all rubbish as they went, making sure minimal disruption to neighbours. The block paving took about three days and we were absolutely delighted with the finished result. They left our premises absolutely spotless. We would have no hesitation in recommending Advanced. Thankyou

Had my driveway done about 2 weeks ago. John and his team did an excellent job! John is truly a man of his word and very professional. His team of men are very efficient, I observed them whilst they worked and could see that each one have their own expertise which they do very well. I’m so pleased with the driveway and looking forward to getting my garden done also soon!

Just had our drive done by John and his team. Very professional and kept fully updated by John via home visits, text and phone calls. The lads work non stop (even in the rain) and, at the end of the day, leave the job clean and tidy. We are so pleased with our new drive, not forgetting the step, and would highly recommend John and his crew to anyone who is looking to have a new drive in the future. Thanks to you all.

Had John and his team complete patio and turfing works in our garden, him and his guys were so professional ,neat and tidy from start to finish, John would pop by everyday check the job was going to plan and regularly update us with what the guys would be carrying out next, his guys work extremely hard. We are so happy with our new garden and will definitely be recommending Advanced and would definitely use them again.

Couldn’t be more impressed. Professional from start to finish. John talked me through my options, helping me decide what style and lay out to go for. The guys arrived early and worked non stop all day. I had a new drive laid, fencing, new turf and a raised flower bed, with all the work completed in under a week. They even removed some waste I had in my garden and cleared my blocked drains. The work looks better than I imagined. Would highly recommend to anyone considering this type of work.

John and his team are courteous and hardworking. I am very pleased with the block paving and drainage work carried out in my front garden. The garden was left clean and tidy. I would be happy to recommend and have further work done myself.

We recently had a front drive laid on a corner plot. We found the whole experience extremely professional. It was a pleasure to meet John & his team who worked tirelessly every day until the job was complete. They took no money up front until the job was done to our satisfaction & it’s easy to see they have laid soo many drives as their experience shows thru. We would have no hesitation in recommending Advanced - thanks again all

We chose Advanced to completely redo our driveway and replace worn out decking with a patio as they had carried out work on quite a lot of houses in our area and the quality of their work is superb. John was great at helping us decide what we wanted, his guys were always on time and polite, they worked really hard and always cleared up at the end of the day. John came round every day to make sure we were happy with the work and the job was finished exactly when he said it would be. The results were even better than we expected, and it's no surprise that John keeps getting work around here! We would highly recommend Advanced.

Advanced Paving have done 2 big jobs for us twice now. They are professional, always courteous of your property & surroundings. The guys are friendly & polite. They work hard to get the job done. We will definitely be using Advanced Paving again for our next project in the near future.

Once again, John and his team have come up trumps. I have had a lot of work done by John in the past and he has always done a good job. This time I have had the front lawns removed (full of weeds!) and then slate, with patio slabs, installed, with edging round the flower beds. All done in two days, the first team worked all day to remove the old lawn and soil and then the second team (Daniel and James) finished everything off. The area was left clean and tidy and all rubbish was taken away. I have no problems recommending John and his team for a good, quick, professional job.

Quality. That is the only word that comes to mind when reviewing this company.Without an ounce of exaggerating, I’m glad I chose them because they’ve completely transformed my front drive. Have a look at the ‘before and after’ drone shots I took.The front of my house looks even more beautiful now and it’s probably added value to it too now.I can tell that Johnny takes good care of his customers and it is admirable how he manages his business. Doing your driveway is a big purchase but he was a very fair man in negotiating and making sure that you’re left feeling happy. He will do everything it takes to make the finished job look excellent and not leave things looking half-decent. That’s what I mean by quality with these guys.He came to quote a few months ago, I wasn’t at home but he still called me to tell me the quote. Fastforward 3 months later, I called him and he came out again to make sure we were on the same page.The work was supposed to start 8th October but he brought it forward by a whole week. Perfect for me as it means I can park the guest’s cars for my daughter’s birthday party in a couple of days.The boys working on the patio are grafters and get on with the job without any complaints, they are worth their weight in gold. Bler who lays the patios was super fast and careful to cut the blocks up properly and fit them to look neat.Really appreciate the work that’s gone in this and I hope to see the driveway last for years. I will 100% recommend them to anyone who needs something like this done.Cheers guys and hopefully work with you soon.

I recently had a driveway put in by Advanced Paving, and I am absolutely blown away with the results. The job was scheduled to take three days, but the team was able to complete it in two, thanks to their professionalism, hard work, and informative, respectful, and helpful attitude.From the start, John, the foreman, was incredibly helpful and accommodating. He made sure to understand my design ideas and made sure that they were met. He also kept me informed throughout the process and answered any questions I had.The rest of the team was also very informative, respectful, and helpful. They were always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that I was happy with the work.My friends and family have all seen the new driveway, and they are all amazed at the transformation. It's gone from an unsightly front garden to a sleek and modern driveway that really adds to the curb appeal of my home.I would highly recommend Advanced Paving to anyone looking for a new driveway. They provide a five-star service from start to finish.

What can we say about Advanced? What a very hardworking team Johny has got. We are so pleased with what you have done to our front garden, it has been completely transformed. Communication from start to finish from Johny. We will recommend you 110% to people. Thankyou so much to you and your team😊

We was so pleased with John and his team worked fantastic wished I had them first instead of having the garden done last year by cowboys I could had saved money but advanced work was worth every pound spent I would definitely recommend there work to anyone thanks John so please

Sally Turner

Absolutely Outstanding!I’ve never know anyone work harder than they guys did….They would turn up at 7.30am every morning, including the weekend and work at least 10 hours a day, sometimes longer, only stopping for lunch and John (the boss) would regularly drop round to check everything was going to plan. We were kept up to date every step of the way. Communication is key and they have shovels of it.We had our driveway paved with cobbles and the back garden was in a terrible state so we had it landscaped and at the end of the garden they’ve made a 6 meter by 6 metre concrete base for a cabin and we were absolutely blown away by the transformation and the attention to detail is second to none..I’ve added some photos and please note, it was all done in 6 days…..If anyone would like to come and see what they’ve then you’re very welcome to…….

John and his team did a great job on our driveway putting down lovely cobble block paving. They also laid sandstone paving in the back garden. They arrived on time and worked hard every day doing a very professional job. Extremely clean and tidy. John said it would take 3 days and it did!

Kevin Juniper

Having had a back garden makeover completed by Advanced just over a year ago it was time to get John and the crew in to do a complete makeover of our front garden. Familiar faces turned up and, as we previously saw with the back garden, they all worked extremely hard, were polite and completed the job on schedule. We are very pleased with the end result and several neighbours have also made favourable comments. We were kept informed as to what would happen when, the site was left tidy at the end of each day and John called round regularly to check on progress. Would definitely recommend Advanced.Before and after photos attached.

Professional job from start to finish from John and the team. They worked tirelessly throughout and they said it would take a week and that's what it took, even with the extreme heat.We are so pleased with our new driveway and would highly recommend.

Thank you to John and the team for my lovely patio. They were such a polite and hard working team. The work was completed in 4 days despite me having a change of mind over the length of the planters and John having to rearrange workmen to take out what had just been put in and redo part of the patio. I appreciated the design input from John and so pleased with the result. At the end of each day everything was left clean and tidy. I highly recommend Advanced paving to anyone who is considering having work done and plan to use them again.

We are absolutely delighted with the driveway John and his team have just completed for us.John’s expertise and vision was crucial in making sure we had a very clear idea of the whole process.He carried out his original survey on 13th May, work commenced on 30th May and was completed in a total of 3½ days. Everything was planned and carried out with military precision with John overseeing it at every stage. His team were superb – always punctual, efficient and very hard-working. Site disturbance was kept to an absolute minimum. A totally professional job.Malcolm & Monica, Warren Lane, Grays

Any questions or concerns were always explained and we were shown what needed to be done.So pleased with our new drive. They even did some rendering and re-sanded the drive a week later after some heavy rain fall!Would highly recommend this company especially as their attention to detail was superb.Mr & Mrs SaichRedwing DriveBillericayMay 2023

I have used this company twice. I initially used them to landscape my back garden. This was a terraced garden with 3 levels, including 2 patios and artificial grass as well as curved walls and flower beds.18 months later they block paved the front garden. John (the boss) is so helpful. He visited the site frequently during the day and worked with me to plan and design exactly how I wanted things. All the workers are polite, friendly and respectful. I found them all very hardworking. Very quick to return for any snagging problemsI can highly recommend this company .

Martin Pryor

I required a range of work done including Paving, Fencing, Brick Wall, Drainage and landscaping. John provided a competitive written quote, and explained exactly how to job was going to be carried out and how long it would take. No deposit was required when I agreed to the quote, and work commenced as promised. The team arrived promptly every day and quickly started work clearing the site. Extra people were brought to site as required as the different areas of the job progressed i.e. bricklayers, block pavers ,etc. Work continued until completion of the job and was fully project managed by John ensuring that all building materials arrived on site when required. All rubbish was immediately cleared every day, leaving no disruption to our neighbours. I had a progress report from John every evening , and walked through the job on the final day to ensure that I was 100% happy with the work, and rectify any minor snagging points. Payment was only required once I was fully satisfied. I have no hesitation in recommending john and his team.

James Parker

This is the second time I've used John and the team at Advanced. They did such a great job on my driveway that I got them to completely re do my Garden with all new paving, fences and grass. As always, John is super professional and he and his team take a lot of pride in doing a great job. They always clean up after every day and disruption to neighbours is non existent. I will always use them fir any other things I need doing.

Johnny and his team, were hardworking, helpful and a great bunch of guys, the work was completed to a great standard, I am retired and spent a lot of time with the guys, it was a good laugh and the work came first every time, Johnny manages all of his jobs and gives input on every job, making sure that the work is completed to a high standard. The surrounding area of the site is meticulously cleaned everyday. Disruption to other residents and us was minimal, the work was completed in 5 days. I can’t recommend Advanced paving highly enough…. Thank you

From the outset John and his team were very professional. They arrived on time and John was there to oversee works and arrange materials. He listened to our requests for sometimes wheelchair access to front door and alteration to original drive. Being a building site manager for many I could'nt fault the workmanship or work ethic at all. Admiring looks by driveby's and neighbours very impressed especially the clean up operation at end of job. 100% reccomend to anyone. Very pleased.
