Following a recommendation from a friend, we contacted Leicestershire Paving Company to try to tidy up our back yard / patio area which had been re-slabbed many years ago by another company, but some of the paving slabs had started to break up and crumble. Also the mortar in the joints between the slabs had gradually worn away over the years and in addition to replacing the broken slabs, this was also in need of repointing.Jeff from LPC came to inspect the area, and we were very impressed with his professional manner, and obvious depth of knowledge. It transpired that he remembered working on our back yard as a young, very junior employee with the company that did the original work.After measuring up the area, and working out how many new slabs would be required, he provided us with a quotation for the work which we thought was quite reasonable. We knew that there would be a slight delay before work could commence because of the exceedingly wet weather, but he gave us an approximate time for the work to start, and also said that he estimated the job would take two days, which turned out to be accurate.Contact was maintained during the intervening period, and just before the commencement of the work, Jeff came to see us again, and introduced us to one of the key members of his team (Misho) who would be overseeing the work. Once again, we felt very reassured that we were in capable hands.On the day that the job started, Misho accompanied the two workers who would be doing the actual job, and introduced them to us (Elliott and Mason). It was immediately apparent that they knew exactly what to do, while Misho ensured that they were kept supplied with the relevant materials, as well as helping with some aspects of the work.Basically, they just got on with the job and worked extremely hard for the couple of days that it took. They were all very easy to get along with, and apart from the obvious noise of their machinery, we would hardly have known that they were there.Before leaving each day, they liaised with us to ensure that we were happy with the work that had been done, and we couldn't believe how much better the yard looked. The area still needs to be sealed, but a short time has to elapse before this can be done, and we have been contacted by Misho who has provisionally booked us in for the spring, when he will carry this out, weather permitting.It is quite obvious that Jeff cares about his client's and the reputation of LPC, and to sum up, we cannot fault this company. From the workers, right through to Kelly in the office, who is very efficient at keeping in touch and answering any queries, we would have no hesitation in recommending this firm to anyone.
