Our Partner Directories

If you are still deciding on a surface for your new driveway, these directories cover every material option. Resin, tarmac, concrete and gravel each have different installation methods, lifespans and maintenance needs. The contractors listed here specialise in one surface only, so their advice and quotes reflect years of work on that material, not a general builder's guess.

A new driveway often means scaffolding, deliveries and workmen on site. That is the moment to sort out any roof problems you have been putting off. These directories cover pitched roofs, flat roofs, guttering and roofline, and commercial buildings. Each contractor works to the relevant British Standard, and the sites make it clear what type of roof they will quote for.

Once your driveway is finished, the next job on many houses is the windows and doors. These directories cover double glazing, sash windows, conservatories and whole-house replacement. Installers on these sites are FENSA registered where the work requires it, and the quotes you receive will state the window style, glass specification and fitting method in writing.

A driveway does not stop at the kerb. Patios, paths, block paving and imprinted concrete are all separate skills within the paving trade. These directories separate the work by material and technique, so you can find a contractor who has laid natural stone for years, or a block paver who knows the sub-base depth needed for vehicle loading.

Old drives crack, sink and stain. Before you replace the whole thing, get a specialist to look at what has actually failed. These directories cover repair, cleaning and pressure washing. The contractors here will tell you honestly whether a patch will hold or whether the sub-base has gone and the drive needs relaying.

When the builders are in and the house is already disrupted, it is a good time to swap an ageing boiler. These directories cover heating engineers and boiler installations. All heating engineers listed are Gas Safe registered, and the quotes will specify the boiler model, output and warranty before any work starts.

If you are having the driveway dug up, the scaffolding is up, or the roof is being worked on, that is the moment to think about solar panels. These directories cover solar installers across England. Installers on these sites are MCS certified, which means their systems meet the Microgeneration Certification Scheme standard required for government incentives.
