Adam made my drive only in a few days and the finishing is pretty high standard! Installed new slabs and an amazing artificial grass and also cleaned my back yard slabs which look like new now. Can't recommend blast it away enough for any drive services!

This is the timeline so far detailing why my drive is STILL not finished after 9 months:

16/11/22 Blast It Away start work laying my drive

When almost completed I notice that they’ve paved over the drain inspection chamber. One of the guys tells me they never saw it. Another says they did. I remind them that this needs to be there so the drains can be cleaned out in the event of a blockage. I then had to hunt through old photos to try and work out the location of the drain in relation to my trees so that they could put in a proper drain cover without pulling up half the drive they’d just laid when they should have just done that in the first place

28/11/22 Work finished and fully paid for – was told that they would remove the large Blast It Away sign they attached to the tree at the bottom of my drive and drop off some top soil for around the edge of the drive and that they would seal the drive when the weather improved

03/01/23 (over a month later) I asked about removing the sign still strapped to my tree and reminded them about the sealing and the topsoil – replied two days later saying still too wet. A week later I took down the sign myself. Sign was collected and soil put down mid Jan

17/04/23 (four and a half months after completion) Reminded them by message that the sealing was still not done despite plenty of good weather – two days later had to chase a reply. Was asked which job it was. Told him the drive was now covered in bird muck. I was asked if I could clean it off. Told me he would have a word with his son about coming out to seal it

15/05/23 (another month later) I messaged asking for an update. Got a reply the day after saying he would ask his son about doing it, which was what he said a month ago

22/05/23 I messaged again asking for an update and reminding him it was over a month since he first said he would talk to his son about coming out. His son comes out and despite spending over an hour trying to remove the bird muck with MY help and cleaning materials, the stains won’t come out

25/05/23 Messaged asking what he thought could be done about the stains and he requested photos. I messaged again three days later after getting no reply. Was told tree needed trimming back to stop pigeons pooing on my drive. I reminded him that if this had been done when it was supposed to be done then the bird poo wouldn’t be a problem. Was told he wanted to look at himself but was on holiday

03/06/23 Came out to look at the drive and took a bird poo stained brick from the drive to see how best to clean it

05/06/23 Two days later I messaged asking for any update. Was told was away for a funeral

15/06/23 Messaged again asking for an update. No reply

19/06/23 Messaged again. Was told was away for a family emergency and a chemical to clean the drive was on order

03/07/23 Messaged again for an update. No answer

04/07/23 Messaged again. No answer

05/07/23 Messaged again. Was told still waiting for chemical

18/07/23 Messaged him again to say that the chemical had now been on order for well over a month. Got a reply saying it had arrived and they would come on the following Saturday

22/07/23 (the Saturday) Messaged me to say it couldn’t be done due to the rain. Told it will be next Saturday for definite

29/07/23 Never shows up even though weather and drive is dry. I message to ask if he was supposed to be coming today. No answer.

20/08/23 Still no answer from them. I nearly twisted my ankle washing the car due to the brick that’s been missing from my drive for nearly three months

Over 9 months and still not completed despite many days of good weather and plenty of chances to complete the work. At no stage has anyone contacted me about completing the work without incessant chasing by me. I think 9 months is pretty patient of me and clearly I’m now just having the mickey taken. If it isn’t completed soon I’ll be taking it further

EDIT:

04/09/23 The driveway has now been completed to a high standard

Adam and his team are really good. I hired them to remove my old driveway and front garden and replace it with block paving. The team he had onsite were really good and never stopped working. They were all really polite and ensured that they cleaned up after themselves everyday. They were also really good at ensuring that they caused minimal disruption in the street for our neighbours. I would and will use Adam again for sure.
