Elite Driveways have recently completed a new Driveway at our business premises in Rackheath. From our first meeting James has been excellent with his advice, scheduling, promptness and standard of work. He and his team were professional, friendly, extremely hard working and delivered a excellent job. We would have no hesitation in using them again or highly recommending them.
I highly recommend James @ Elite Driveway and Excavations, from the first point of contact to the finished driveway James surpassed our expectations. His communication skills are excellent, and he works tirelessly to give you the best outcome.
We are so grateful to James for all his hard work. He has entirely transformed an embarrassingly neglected and muddy area into an entrance and front garden of which we can be proud.He is an excellent communicator keeping us updated throughout with progress and photographs, since we were not on site to see for ourselves. He has been thorough, diligent and considerate; even down to the smallest details like working around the daffodils to leave them flowering undisturbed, though we hadn’t asked or expected that would be possible.His high level of skill and workmanship will be enjoyed for many years to come, and we can absolutely recommend him to anybody looking for a reliable and trustworthy trader to undertake their project. His charges are very reasonable and we happily accepted them at once.Dr & Mrs M. Ragab
Many thanks to James for our new driveway and wall; a job well done and at a good price.
I needed some concrete taken up quickly and James obliged. He was a lovely guy, prompt, professional and reasonably priced and did a great job, taking everything away and leaving it tidy. Would highly recommend him
100% recommended! James was very professional and such a hard worker. He kept me informed throughout . Very impressed at how he removed a tree stump which had our virgin media cable woven in the roots. Wouldn’t hesitate to use him again . Thanks for all your hard work
Excellent company! I needed a patio done and they fulfilled this to exceed my expectations. Great guys, very knowledgeable and helpful! Managed to fit me in quickly and done an amazing job! Would highly recommend and will be using them again for sure!
James carried out the excavation, building and all aspects or our garden makeover. Always asked my opinion when needed and also gave good advice when required. Most of the work was carried out though the winter and the weather was not always on his side so the job took longer than anticipated. the important bit for me was competing the job to a good standard and that’s what he archived. James is very methodical in his work which I liked and always took the time to tidy up before leaving the site. I’d definitely recommend and use again.
From start to finish we had nothing but professional advice. Our job was a particularly difficult one whereas we had subsidence in the garden which was caused by a poorly filled anderson bunker but no idea where it actually was! But james and joel carefully excavated the garden and found the problematic bunker took some outside advice and filled it properly and very quickly put our garden back together perfectly. James is very knowledgeable therefore setting our minds at rest throughout.We would definitely recommend this company 100%
James of E. D. E. Has just finished a road repair in our private drive, which is Asphalt. We had two large pot holes, and the area between the two holes had broken up. We received a quote very soon after contacting James, and a date was fixed pending weather. I have to say the repair is very neat and professional. I would thoroughly recommend E. D. E
