Rated 4.9 across 174 reviews on Google & Checkatrade
Every drive starts underneath: the excavation dug to the right depth, a properly compacted sub-base, and edge restraints haunched in so the pattern can't creep. It's the part you never see, and it's the part that decides whether a driveway still looks like this in ten years.
You get a fixed written quote before a spade goes in the ground, with materials, labour, muck-away and edging all itemised. No day rates, no creeping extras, and no "we found something" halfway through the week.
Isaac has been laying driveways and patios around Salford for 28 years, and every job leaves with a 20-year workmanship guarantee in writing. We're local, so if anything ever needs looking at, we're a phone call and ten minutes away.

"I started Platinum Roofing with one simple rule - if I wouldn't accept it on my own house, it doesn't go on yours. Most of our work today comes from word of mouth and second jobs from happy customers. That's how I know we're doing it right."Get a quote from Isaac
Answers to the most common questions we get.
We aim to call you back the same day during working hours. From there we'll book a free survey at a time that suits you, usually within a few days, to measure up and talk through designs.
Yes. Every job starts with a free, no-obligation visit where we measure up, check levels and drainage, and talk through materials and layout. You get a fixed written quote afterwards - no pressure and no pushy sales talk.
Block paving driveways, Indian sandstone and porcelain patios, steps, raised beds and sleeper edging, retaining walls, artificial grass and full garden makeovers. We'll bring samples to the survey and show you photos of jobs we've done in the same material, so you can see how it weathers rather than picking off a brochure.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 20-year guarantee, and the paving, blocks and slabs are covered by their own manufacturer warranties, so you're protected for the long term.
Most domestic driveways and patios take between three days and a week, depending on the size of the area, how much excavation is needed and the weather. We give you a realistic start and finish date with the quote.
For a front driveway you'll need planning permission only if you're laying more than five square metres of non-permeable surfacing without somewhere for the water to drain. We design every driveway to drain properly - either using permeable paving or by directing run-off to a border or soakaway - so in practice permission is rarely needed. Rear patios are almost always permitted development.
We're based in Salford and cover the wider Greater Manchester area, including Walkden, Eccles, Irlam and the surrounding towns. Not sure if you're in range? Give us a call or request a quote and we'll let you know straight away.
We ask for a materials deposit once the job is booked in, then the balance on completion when you're happy with it. Everything is set out in writing before you commit.
