Report
Just had our new tarmac laid by Peter and his team and the quality of the work is brilliant. We received quotes off the 3 firms that come up local on Google and Peter's quote was the the best, a very close second was a firm from near kendal and the 3rd quote from a firm that works out of barrow and Morecombe was nearly double the price and if I'm honest the the standard of work wouldn't have been anywhere near the first two as they said the thickness would only be 40mm as both of the first two quoted for 80mm. We chose Peter as he came with recommendations from a couple of friends and I'm so glad

Don't even waste your time contacting this company. An appointment for an estimate was prompt and on time. After waiting 10 days, the quote was received.I was encouraged to accept the quote so a booking for the job could be made. After waiting nearly six months, and countless, unreplied emails,messages and phone calls, there was no sign of this company even starting the job. Chaplows of Kendal were contacted and a professional job from start to finish, was received, even through the difficult covid 19 restrictions. If you want a drive tarmacing, go straight to Chaplows. .

Do not bother to contact this firm. I wanted a quote for a driveway. A young lad came to my house. Said he would email me a quote. Waited a week. No quote. Emailed him. No response. They are unreliable.
