The job was to take up patio flags steps path flags. Relaying flags and point with resin and add 2 more steps to existing steps. Kirklees diveways and Kirklees Ground care are the same company.
After the job was completed we was advised not to walk on the flags for couple of days to allow to set hard we had concerns about anthony putting the resin down as to manufacturers instructions we had a conversation with him but he told us that is how i the resin in. from distance the job looked ok we paid a total of £2300 in cash. At the end of the job.
After 5 days or so it rained and washed large amount of resin out of the flags also some of the flags are uneven and loose the flags on the steps are completely loose and dangerous to walk on also some of the resin as not set.the garden patio and steps are in a worse state now than it was before. anthony said he would post a receipt on to me. that has never arrived. I have phoned him texted him about the job he said he will sort it out but never comes. And as for the materials he used. what I was quoted for 10 tubs of resin he only used 5.

Block paving driveway completed in 4 days Anthony and his work team was outstanding and made sure I was happy on every stage of the prossess.

Kirklees driveways came and did my drive, did a fantastic job, would highly recommend.

I employed Anthony Ackroyd (trades as Kirklees Driveways but also is associated with Kirklees Ground Care - this is the logo his vehicles carry) to tarmac a section of road at the rear of my house and install a channel drain to take water into a nearby river. He quoted £2700 including 3 tonnes of tarmac and 2 tonnes of type 1 sub-base hardcore and an ACO drain. I specifically told him that the road was regularly used by delivery vehicles and so the drain specification should match this use. During the installation, I noticed that he had not installed a new sub-base, but he assured me this was because the original sub-base was sound. The job was finished quickly and appeared well-executed, so we paid him. However, it quickly emerged that he had failed to bring the road to a level that would allow the drain to fall away from the house, and it in fact flowed backwards, dumping water in my neighbour's garden. When I complained, he returned and re-seated it, but did not seal it to the road or haunch it properly. This meant that a) water now flowed under the drain and into my neighbour's property, b) the tarmac was 2 inches above the level of the drain on the river side of the road and so vulnerable to edge erosion as vehicles passed over it, c) the drain was not supported properly and so was itself vulnerable to damage by vehicles. I then discovered that the drain was only rated for light pedestrian use (A15 rating) and was far flimsier than the branded ACO equivalent, and it subsequently emerged that it was cracked, and leaking what little water was entering it from the road. Anthony promised to return many times to deal with these issues but more than two months later we are still waiting. As we live in a flood risk area and houses on our street have a history of cellar flooding, I have been forced to make temporary repairs myself, to seal the drain to the road and protect it from damage, and to protect my neighbour's properties. Given the three winter storms we had in February, it is probably very fortunate that I did so. The root cause of this problem is the failure to install a new sub-base (which we had actually paid for). If this had been done, it would have been possible to bring the road to an appropriate level and install the drain correctly. Coupled with this issue is the installation of a drain that might well work in a driveway (though manufacturers state that A15 is NOT suitable for motor vehicle use - C250 is recommended see the Clark Drains Great A15 Debate website), in what is an access road used by delivery vehicles and vans. When I employed a professional to do this job, I did not think I would end up spending evenings and weekends out in the rain, digging, mixing concrete and tamping down cold lay tarmac to shore up his shoddy work - if this kind of activity appeals to you, then go with this company! We are now going down the small claims court route to reclaim our costs.
