The site isn't very user friendly

The site isn't very user friendly. The person I hired did a great job but the site didn't make it a simple process and it was awkward keeping track of who I was actually hiring and who had contacted me.

Driveway after 13 years looked “tired”…

Driveway after 13 years looked “tired” and worn, so made contact with companies for advice, both checkatrade and other. S&N Landscapes with checkatrade made an excellent impression from first meeting. The advice, after option discussion, was to “freshen” the drive with tarmac restorer as it wasn’t in bad condition. The team worked efficiently, cleaning and repairing small cracks on the drive before applying two coats of restorer. Delighted with the result.

Patio job completed to excellent standard.

We put our job details on the Checkatrade site and had several responses. We ended up with 4 firms quoting and accepted what we thought was the best one. The project was finished inside 3 weeks of us first posting the details. We are delighted with the completed project.
