Look at what is there before deciding what to change
With roofing, that means tracing the source of the problem before assuming the whole roof needs work. With a driveway or patio, the base, levels and water run-off matter just as much as the surface you choose.
Tree and hedge work has its own questions: how healthy the tree is, what sits underneath it, whether machinery can get in and what you actually want to achieve. Getting those basics clear at the start makes the rest of the job much more straightforward.
Talk through your project →Before work begins
Know what is being done and why
A clear scope, sensible preparation and a bit of thought about the wider property can prevent a lot of avoidable problems later.
Proper preparation
Access, existing condition, drainage, groundwork and nearby features are considered before the visible finish.
One exterior plan
If you need more than one service, the work can be thought through in the right order rather than treated as unrelated jobs.

Customer feedback
Straightforward service, tidy work and a finish to be proud of
“Really happy with the work from Blackthorne. We had a leak coming in around the roof after all the bad weather. They came out, found the problem quickly and had it sorted without any fuss. Very tidy lads as well. Would happily recommend them.”
“We got a new porcelain patio installed in the back garden and the difference is unreal. The whole area looks completely transformed. Great attention to detail and they kept everything neat and tidy throughout the job. Delighted with the finished result.”
“Excellent job on our driveway. The old surface was in a terrible state and Blackthorne completely renewed it with tarmac. The lads turned up when they said they would and worked hard from start to finish. Very pleased with it.”
“Had a large tree at the side of the house that was becoming a bit of a worry, especially when it was windy. Blackthorne removed it safely and cleared everything away afterwards. Very professional service and easy to deal with.”
“We recently had our roof replaced and couldn’t fault the service. Everything was explained beforehand, communication was good and the team worked away without causing us any hassle. The new roof looks fantastic. Thanks again lads.”
“Great job replacing our garden fencing after the old panels finally gave up. Strong, solid finish and everything was left spotless afterwards. Fair price too. Will definitely use Blackthorne again.”
“Our gutters had been leaking in a few places for ages. Blackthorne came out, replaced the damaged sections and checked the rest while they were there. No more water running down the walls now. Sound lads and very straightforward to deal with.”
“Absolutely delighted with our new resin driveway. We weren’t completely sure which finish would suit the house but they talked us through the options and gave us good advice. It came out even better than we expected.”
“We needed some repairs done around our chimney as the mortar had started breaking away. The work was carried out quickly and professionally and they showed us exactly what needed to be done before starting. Would recommend.”
“Had the hedges cut back and a general tidy-up done around the garden. What would have taken me days was sorted in no time. They took all the waste away too which was a big help. Garden looks brilliant now.”
“Very pleased with the concrete driveway Blackthorne installed for us. From the first visit to the finished job they were helpful and easy to communicate with. Everything looks neat and properly finished. No complaints at all.”
“Our roof had years of moss built up on it and was looking fairly rough. After Blackthorne cleaned it, it honestly looks like a different roof. They were careful around the property and cleaned up afterwards. Great service.”
“We went with sandstone for a new patio and couldn’t be happier. The lads helped us decide on the layout and the finish is lovely. Plenty of compliments from family already! Would definitely recommend Blackthorne to anyone getting landscaping work done.”
“We had a fairly big job done with the driveway and some landscaping around the front of the house. From start to finish everything went smoothly. They kept us informed as the work progressed and made a few good suggestions that improved the final result. Very happy customers.”
“We had two mature trees that had become badly overgrown and were blocking quite a bit of light. The team reduced and reshaped them without making them look butchered, which was exactly what we wanted. All branches and debris were cleared away before they left. Top job.”
