Default Getting my driveway done but who to use?

I'm planning to get my driveway re-done & extended in either plain concrete or imprinted concrete. Does anyone on here have any good experiences/feedback from having their own driveways done?

I'm based in Neath so would be looking from firms from Bridgend to Llanelli.

Oaktree construction have done a few driveways in my street recently and they have done what appears to be a good job so I've at lease one company on my list to contact.

Thanks

Dean, get the above gang in and I am sure they will do you a cracking job.

You didn't expect a useful response from me I hope?

They used all your "back to the future" bit's to make a "Neef Car" Ty .

Dean, if your neighbours are happy they try the locals.

Tyron, how you managed to put a picture of a car up without wanting to refurb the wheels first is astonishing!

Saying that, I've got something suspiciously similar in my garage that's supposed to be a Honda CRX

I guess I'll be here for ages waiting for a sensible answer to come along. I don't know, the Wales section is all driveways and caravans these days eh

To travel? I work on building sites regularly so quite often see them. Let me know if u want me to ask, otherwise Ian's suggestion sounds good , have a good look at your neighbours job, borrow a 7.5ton lorry, drive it up and down on there fully loaded for a few hours, of it sags/dips (like ty's belly) you know they're no good! Tried and tested method up here in joskin

More like dips like Robbie when it's his turn to go to the bar, the only person to ever have his arms surgically shortened so he can't reach into his pockets.

You got big problems if a concrete drive can't take 7.5 tonne wagon!! Your welcome to stick a 20 tonne muckshift wagon on the ones my company does preparation is the key.

Preparation and plenty of lube, that's the first thing I was taught as an apprentice, that and " always fill the kettle before you turn the water off"!!
