We recently had our driveway and landscaping completed, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the whole process was handled professionally, with great attention to detail and clear communication throughout.

The quality of the workmanship is outstanding — the driveway has completely transformed the front of our home, and the landscaping work has tied everything together perfectly. You can really tell they take pride in what they do, as everything has been finished to a very high standard.

They were reliable, turned up when they said they would, kept the site tidy, and were always happy to answer any questions or make adjustments along the way. Nothing felt like too much trouble.

I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for driveway or landscaping work. A genuinely top-quality job and a great experience all round

We recently had our driveway redone by Cornerstone Paving Ltd, and the experience from start to finish was exceptional.

James, the owner, was fantastic to deal with throughout. He’s knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly takes great pride in his work. From the initial consultation, he explained everything clearly, offered honest advice, and helped us choose a design that really suited our home.

The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. The attention to detail is second to none—every line is straight, the finish is immaculate, and the overall look has completely transformed the front of our property. It’s obvious that James and his team care about delivering a high standard, not just getting the job done.

They were also incredibly professional and reliable—arriving on time, working efficiently, and keeping everything clean and tidy throughout. Once the job was finished, they left the area spotless, which was really appreciated.

It’s not often you come across a company that exceeds expectations, but Cornerstone Paving genuinely does. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James and his team to anyone looking for high-quality paving work.

James at Cornerstone exceeded all expectations from start to finish. He was incredibly reassuring, taking the time to guide me through every step of the process and making everything feel straightforward and stress-free. The team’s work was outstanding and has genuinely transformed the look and feel of the property. On top of that, they were friendly, convenient to work with, and completed everything quickly without compromising on quality. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

James was very helpful in recommending the options for a small entryway / porch area. We finally went ahead with resin layer and his team did a great job on time. The area looks transformed now and I am very happy with the result.

James ,customer service was top notch and the work exceeded my expectations I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a drive Way

Highly recommend great quality work no stress

James, who owns Cornerstone is a real gentleman. His team are totally professional and they have done a splendid job. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Cornerstone provided an holistic driveway solution where no request was too much for them. The end to end process was smooth and efficient and the results were truly impressive. Great value, great quality, and incredibly fast.

James and his team did a great job converting our front garden to a driveway! It was all done quickly and professionally. Would fully recommend their services.

One of your employees needs some driving lessons.

Down a narrow street with parked cars on both sides, instead of giving way to extremely close oncoming traffic, in his giant truck with trailer attached, he pulled out making it impossible for me to pull in to a sufficient gap or pass whilst also making it extremely difficult for him to pass without damaging my car.

To make it even more unprofessional he was laughing and heckling at me out of his window as he passed (to a lone female with children in her car)

This is not the image you want to portray of your company.

He was impatient and instead of waiting 2 more seconds for me to pass he swung out last minute to intimidate me, there was nowhere for him to pull in further ahead as he had a trailer, so there was no gap big enough. The manchild should have grown a pair and some humility to let others pass. What he did wasn't safe, was unnecessary and pathetic. Grow up and get a haircut.

Had a fantastic experience from start to finish from James and his team at Cornerstone. Punctual, professional and communicated clearly every step of the way. The workmanship is outstanding, and the end result is even better than we imagined. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an outstanding job!

Cornerstone Paving completed work on my driveway today and have done an excellent job from start to finish.

The team have been quick, reliable and the quality of the work has been nothing short of excellent.

The owner (James) is very personable, honest, reliable and gives very practical advice which adds real value to the finished job.

Thank you Cornerstone for the excellent job. I am sure my friends and family will be in contact to get their properties done once they have seen my lovely new driveway.

Paving stone job done to perfection. It only took a day and half from removal of old Paving slabs, concreting' laying new papers to finishing. I'm extremely satisfied with the outcome and would recommend anyone considering patio/ paving replacement.

I recently had my driveway done by Cornerstone Paving Ltd, and couldn’t be happier. James and his team were helpful, super speedy, cost effective did as promised. Good quality work, looks great!
Thank you ☺️

Do not be fooled by the charm and initial professionalism during the sales process. Based on my experience, and those of others I’ve since spoken to, this company operates with a deeply misleading sales process and delivers substandard, careless work.

James appeared friendly and confident at the outset, promising that the quoted price was inclusive of VAT, that no payment would be required until completion, and that the team was experienced and well-reviewed on Checkatrade. He even pointed to their Checkatrade badge which was around his neck and website as proof. Reassured by this, we agreed to go ahead in mid-2024.

Once the job began later that year, the truth quickly unravelled.

I was suddenly told the price was actually exclusive of VAT — a 20% increase. When I challenged this, I was told I must have misunderstood, despite it being discussed multiple times. The claim about being on Checkatrade also proved false. They haven’t been listed on that platform for years, and nearly a year later, still aren’t.

I’ve since learned this pattern is common. The charm fades as soon as the contract is signed. Payments were then demanded in cash or directly to their third-party suppliers — despite initial promises of structured billing. Sometimes this would be directly on his phone, where I will urgently need to pay by card so that they can deliver the supplies. When I protest, James takes an aggressive tone and suggests any delays due to this are on me. Or that they will walk off the job and leave it a mess and incomplete.

The on-site team, though polite, were clearly not properly trained. They left the property in a mess and even entered a neighbour’s garden with equipment, damaging their lawn without asking. The workmanship was poor: bricks laid during heavy rain, smeared mortar that stained walls, paving mistakes that were corrected badly, and concrete laid without essential expansion joints — leading to likely future structural issues.

Communication collapsed quickly. James became rude, impatient, and at times borderline aggressive. Once the work was done, he stopped replying altogether. The “10-year warranty” he gave us is worthless.

This was an incredibly stressful experience for my family. We are now left with a defective, unsightly driveway and walls that are still deteriorating. Worst of all, neighbours saw the team working at our home and assumed it was a good recommendation — they’ve had the same experience and now wish they’d asked us first.

I would strongly urge anyone considering this company to look elsewhere. The false promises, poor quality, and appalling customer service are not worth the risk. I wish I had never engaged them.

Problem with the finished job. Patio slabs cleaned but the gaps were filled with sand and not sealed properly so the sand is now being spread over the paving slabs and leaving an unsightly area. I have called several times and left a message but my calls have been ignored. We paid good money and received poor service.

UNPROFESSIONAL & SHODDY

We were so impressed with James’s solution and his approach of “don’t pay until the job is done” when selling us our driveway.

The job had not been complete and we had been rushed to pay up in full.

On completion, the aco drain was drilled in the wrong place but they still used the same drain which has an extra unnecessary hole.

The finish on the wall is shoddy, ugly and looks laughable, rubbish finish.

We’ve now discovered that the reason for our driveway lights now not working is one of their workers have left a live wire exposed under the new fitted driveway.

Despite chasing James on text, WhatsApp and phone call assuring to sort this out from April, he has used excuses “I’m at a funeral” and just ignored us but only picked when calling from a different number and never returned to fix the issues despite keep saying “madam I will sort it”.

They even dumped their trailer for over two weeks infront of our neighbours property and cleared it in their own time.

Cowboys- do not use, find more professional tradesmen!

Very clean efficient and great value for quality works

Great job with a quick turnaround
James (Conerstone Paving Ltd) and his team did a great job with our driveway and garden.
We'd called him to solve the water logging issue in our garden, lay the turn and re-soil the turf bed and flower beds. He suggested re-doing the driveway and gave us a good deal.
He & his team finished the jobs in 2 days, which we were impressed with. He marshalled his team well and the jobs were professionally done.
He has also given us a 10-year guarantee, which was one of the main reasons we signed up Cornerstone Paving Ltd.
