Finding the Right Paving Company in Fife

Posted by adairsawyer on February 16th, 2012

If you have a home in Fife or just moved in there, you may have realized that some work must be done on your driveway, or patio or the garden.  The garden or yard may need to be upgraded from Indian stone to block paving or stepping stones to cobbling. Or you may have a big patio but you want it to look better by choosing block paving or flagging, or imprinted or colored concrete or cobbler.  It can also be that the weather-damaged driveway requires upgrading with dyed pattern tarmac or patio stone sets.  For any of all these jobs, what you need is a reliable driveway and paving Fife companies.

There are a great number of paving and driveway Fife contractors that you can hire. Because there are so many of them, it becomes difficult to find the right one.  The trick to this is to narrow down your choices.  Look first for the companies based in Fife, those that are located nearest your residence. Then speak with friends and relatives and ask if they knew any of the driveway and paving Fife companies that are in the area.

Find a paving and driveway Fife contractor that has been in the business of driveways and patios for quite a while.  Ask them for referrals.  Good contractors are naturally proud of their work and will easily provide you with a list of their clients and jobs done in your neighborhood. You can check local internet business directories or the Trading Standards.

Ask for a quotation.  The quote should include exactly what work is included and how the contractor will charge for his work.  It can be by the hour or by the job. The quote should be clear on how long the work will take, the materials to be used, and if there is a demolition to be done.  The quote should be provided in writing.   Get quotes from at least 3 paving and driveway Fife contractors for comparison. Having more than one quote allows you to establish a benchmark for total cost of your project and the level of work required.

Make sure that you execute a contract with the driveway and paving Fife Company and it should stipulate all the things you agreed upon in the quote.  It should include the complete description of the work to be made, the amount of expected time for completion, and the cost of the whole project. This contract with a paving and driveway Fife company should also include the list of all materials to be used.

Besides the contract, you should also look for the contractor’s safety commitment.  Paving can involve us of dangerous equipment that need to be handled cautiously.  Ask the contractor - tradesman about their safety procedures, as a protection to employees from possible injuries.
