Armoured Drives is often praised for hard-working teams, clear communication and tidy work on driveways, patios and garden projects, with several reviewers saying the work met a high standard. One reviewer said the team turned up exactly when planned over a complex job, and another said the completed tarmac drive was in great condition three years later. Some reviewers say problems were sorted after contact, including one who reached an agreement and received a payment to close a matter. Others report trouble: one says their block-paved drive looked worse than before and left damaged drains, fencing and garden, and another describes cancelled dates and poor communication. One reviewer reported sunken artificial grass and loose patio slabs two years on, and another said the general drive looked good but the block cutting and cement edging were untidy.
Wow! What a company. Felix and the team are superb. Professional, polite, courteous and so hard working. Nothing is too much trouble and they help and advise as the work goes along. They were happy to amend original plans and accommodated everything we asked for. If we could leave 6 *review we would! Reasonably priced for superb service and quality materials. Everything was taken away without any fuss and the entire 85m of old driveway was removed and the new driveway replaced in just two days. Just brilliant!!! We've used them again 2026 April. They have extended the driveway and made yet again, a superb job in just one day, cleaning up Brilliantly with minimal disruption . Highly recommended!! Don't go anywhere else. They're the best!!
A family used Felix’s company for new resin driveway Great job from start to finish. The driveway was completed to a high standard, with excellent attention to detail. The area was left clean and tidy, and communication throughout was clear and professional. Very pleased with the result and would definitely recommend.
Very efficient, fantastic service, great results
Felix and the team were punctual, hard working and tidy. They produced the driveway I requested to a high standard despite the horrendous weather. I would definitely recommend them.
I would definitely recommend this company to anyone and who needs a driveway going , very competitive pricing, very polite, professional and efficient, I’m very pleased and happy with our driveway they have done an amazing job and I’m so glad I chose Armoured drives to do our driveway. Don’t look elsewhere trust me these guys are the best .
Unreal experience with Armoured Drives. Felix replied quickly to my initial email, came over within a couple of days and quoted reasonably. Pablo and the team took just two days, but did the job to an incredibly high and professional level, working in tough conditions. Very happy
Excellent service from start to finish. Felix converted our front garden into a parking space. He took us through the whole process and what to expect. There was good communication throughout a complex process and no delays. Felix and his team turned up exactly when planned and kept the area clean and tidy and respecting the surrounding neighbours at a busy complex work site. As an added bonus Felix was able to fit the drop kerb too. All at a competitive price. I would thoroughly recommend Armoured Drives.
Really professional service good timekeeping cleaned up daily after they have finished for the day would highly recommend to anybody out their thanks guys
Great service from the guys at armoured We have had a new driveway installed and really happy with the end result. They kept us informed at every stage of the job leaving our property spotless ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from us also booked them for a new patio. I would not hesitate in recommending armoured driveways Thanks guys
Before you decide to book them come to look at our mess
5 star business and service! Highly recommend! Felix and his team did an amazing job on my driveway- going above and beyond to make sure it was perfect! So pleased with the result and can’t thank the team enough!
Excellent service from start to finish. The team was efficient, friendly, and delivered high-quality products. The project was managed seamlessly and completed quickly. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional and reliable results
Fabulous service from start to finish.
We were so pleased that we selected Armoured Drives. Felix has so much enthusiasm and knowledge that we felt confident with what was being proposed. The work we had done was fences to both sides of our property, a beautiful statement entrance step, block paving around the perimeter and finished the driveway with tarmac. His team were amazing and hard working. Every attention to detail was just great. We would highly recommend Felix and can't praise him and his company enough. Thank you so much for a fantastic job!
I recently had my garden refurbished (see before and after photos) and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The team laid a brand-new patio, installed new fence panels, re-levelled, re-seeded the back garden and even put in a conduit for an armoured cable. They were very professional throughout. I would highly recommend!
Felix and his team were very clean and efficient working on our driveway. They started work soon after we agreed to the quote, the whole process was quick and straight forward. We are so pleased with the results!
Felix and his team were 5 star the work on sorting a new drive for me was completed in 3 days in sub zero temperatures. Fantastic work complete
Felix and his team are fantastic and nothing was an issue anything I asked for it was done. Definitely recommend them and will be using them again for future projects
Polite, friendly and on time Completed the job in 1 day, working into the evening to ensure it was completed
Fantastic from start to finish, the guys worked really hard, non stop in fact, very polite, the work was excellent and the drive looks amazing, it was a pleasure having them do the work.
Felix and his team were the ultimate professionals, arriving early and working until there was no daylight left, to complete our drive transformation ahead of schedule. They were all polite and courteous, ensuring we were kept informed of progress at all times. Their work is of the highest standard - we would highly recommend Armoured Drives for every aspect of service, quality of work and an excellent price.
Great job done! sleepers, Indian stone paving and fence done, hard working team, very pleased with the results. Garden is accessible, and looks fabulous now
I recently had my driveway tarmacked and my back garden patio done, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Felix, the owner of the company, was fantastic to work with—professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs. The team on-site was equally impressive; they were very professional and kept everything tidy throughout the process. I highly recommend this company for anyone looking to improve their outdoor spaces!
Felix was really helpful and considerate. His team worked hard to get the job done, taking extra care to leave the site tidy each day. The job (tarmacking our front drive, dropping kerb, adding drainage, rebuilding a wall) was done to a high standard, and we are very satisfied with the end result.
"There's nothing bad to say about these guys. Hard-working. Very thorough with what they do. Timekeeping was brilliant even in the bad weather they keep going. On the first meeting of Felix, he gives you a good impression, not pushy. Very knowledgeable with suggestions and recommendations, but ultimately leaves it to the customer. The price is very fair. They don't take any payment until the job is finished. Good communication throughout. Promised a week and they delivered it in a week. Small fishing touches were unexpected but very welcomed. We are very pleased with the work and how it looks and would fully recommend Armoured Drives to everybody."
"We were very impressed with Felix at our first meeting when he talked through ways to improve drainage issues, having a great understanding of what needed to be done. He kept us informed about the schedule and responded quickly to queries before the work commenced. I know why the company is called Armoured Drives as the work was conducted like a military operation. Felix and his team of three guys worked extremely hard to complete our project ahead of time and to a high standard. I would not hesitate to use Felix and the team again and highly recommend them. Thank you very much Armoured Drives."
Armoured drives were great from start to finish. From getting Felix round for an estimate to them completing the patio, everything was super easy and they did a great job in a record amount of time. Would definitely use them again.
Felix and the gang were brilliant, very professional and great job on my driveway, highly recommend!
Felix came to do the quote and was lovely, he listened to what we wanted and suggested things that he could do.Straight away we had a good feeling about him and his company. They arrived on the day specified and the team got stuck in straight away. They always turned up when they said they would. I would highly recommend Armoured Drives Ltd. Our resin driveway looks amazing and absolutely 1st class.
This is the second time Felix and his hardworking crew have worked for me. As always they are punctual, polite and respectful. I got exactly what I wanted at a good price and the crew always leave everything clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Felix.
Couldn't be happier with the work. Very quick and professional. Tidied up after really nicely and the work quality is excellent.
Professional service from start to finish. Work completed as agreed. Great communication from Felix. Kept up to date with the works. Hardworking lads. Would definitely recommend. Good price quoted for patio. Fabulous company. Reliable.
I used Armoured Drives to replace rotten half logs that surrounded our raised lawn. I had a few quotes and Felix was definitely the most knowledgeable to propose a term maintenance free solution which is what I was looking for. Communication was great and the team made short work of completing the job and it looks great. Felix was always available to answer and questions during the work. Can't wait for the spring to have them back to last a new lawn.
Fantastic job of my driveway and back garden. Very fair price.
Good comms and the guys worked hard to complete the garden work in a couple of days. Happy with the work and would recommend them for sure!
Felix and the team were impeccable. Great communication and literally the best company we have spoken to about our drive. They were fast, reliable, polite and left no question unanswered when dealing with queries relating to the job. I could not be happier with the level of service and the completed job. Would highly recommend to anyone needing work done.
Did are patio must say thay we’re grate no fuss definitely use again thanks lads 😊
Well where do I start.... Firstly they are clearly using fake reviews, 35 5 star reviews in the last week that have perfect grammar and written in a similar format with no photo's. I don't think so. And that alone pretty much sums up this business, they cut corners, lie, the workmanship is poor and they fail to comply with court orders. The business also does not reside at any of the 3 addresses that can be found under their business name as discovered by court enforcement agents. These guys are the lowest of the low and they owe me nearly £9k which I doubt I'll ever see. As for the work they did at my house. Shockingly bad quality is probably the best way to describe it. I won't put too much down, let's just say that 2 years down the line I'm now left with a poorly finished artificial grass area that has sunken in many areas and an uneven patio with 15+ loose slabs. I'll leave you to look at the photos (all of which are from when it was first done) and decide for yourself if you want a bunch of cowboys working on your house. *Edit July 2023* With the help of Trustatrader.com we have managed to come to an agreement and a payment has been made by Armoured Drives to bring this matter to a close.
Felix and his team have just installed a fantastic new patio to replace old decking. They did the work quickly and tidily. The finished result has transformed our outside space. Excellent work and couldn't be kore pleased.
Recently had our driveway completed by Felix and his team at Armoured drives. Amazing results received lots of comments from neighbor's on how nice it looks, couldn't be happier.
Great work by Felix and his team.
I used Armoured Drives to fully landscape my back garden and I am more than happy with the work that was done by them. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family. Thank you to Felix and his team for all the hard work.
We are pleased with our new drive and would use Armoured again.
Tarmac drive, block paving path and built step to front door. Felix and his team are grafters and did a good job.
Quick, efficient work and helpful advice
Felix was amazing from start to finish, very professional. Had several quotes from other tradesman but none were as knowledgeable or as transparent with pricing.
Felix responded promptly to a request for a quote, and he understood immediately the issue I had using my drive as it is quite steep. We agreed on a course of action, and I received a very competitive quote. The team arrived when they said they would, and the work was completed in the timescales agreed. The bonus with using Felix and the guys is that we were able to discuss changes to enhance the project. Both Felix's team and I had input on aesthetic changes to the original work order, which has certainly given a far better outcome that was first imagined. Please see the images supplied and make your own decision. On the basis of the work carried out at my home, my neighbours and family members have also used Felix and his team.
Felix, Francis and the team did an incredible job. completely gutting my neglected and overgrown jurassic park resembling garden space with fresh brick paving, flowerbeds and lawn. Communication was immediate and work carried out was completely quickly and professionally. The materials used are hardwearing and look really smart. ready to enjoy for the summer months. I would highly recommend them.
From start to finish Felix and his team were fantastic. Professional, clean and tidy. Didn't leave and mess behind. Would recommend them to anyone.
Felix and his team provided an excellent service prompt courteous and finished to a high standard
Felix and Team were fantastic. Highly recommended:)
Felix and his team installed a block pave and tarmac driveway for us. The interactions we had from the start were all really positive. Very responsive, a written quote and contract were produced which outlined everything that was included in the job. They were super efficient, respectful, clean and tidy tradespeople and I would recommend them to friends and family.
We called Armoured Drives Ltd last Wednesday to help us as we had been badly let down by another company. Felix met us on site on Friday to assess the work. He provided an explanation of what was required, gave us a competitive quotation and arranged to carry out the work the following Tuesday. His team arrived in time, worked extremely hard and completed the job in less than a day-tidying up so we’ll afterwards that no trace if the building work was left behind. The work was completed to a high standard and we are more than happy with the outcome. Overall we found them to be reliable, hardworking and courteous and would not hesitate to recommend them-
Felix and his team delivered exceptional service and support throughout the whole process from design to installation and aftercare. Even though we had challenging weather the team completed on time. We recommend Armoured Drives Ltd.
We were very pleased with the whole process, from quoting to completion. Felix was available to answer any queries and always responded promptly. The team turned up exactly when expected and worked tirelessly to complete the job. We would definitely use Armoured Drives again and highly recommend to others.
Great customer service. Work carried out to a high standard. Polite set of lads. Kept in touch and informed throughout job. Great price. Would highly recommend.
Hade my driveway install by armoured drives fantastic company highly recommend
3 day big job non stop work thank you guys
Had Felix come and do my driveway would highly recommend
Quick and hard workers leaving the site in great condition after every visit brilliant product and finish
Spent a significant amount of money on a block paved driveway installed by Armoured Drives and strongly suggest that others do not do the same. Drive looks worse than before and left us with damaged drains, fencing and garden. We are having to spend the same again to repair their shoddy work. Promised a lot but under delivered in every single way. Avoid.
Done my drive way fantastic job
Had a new patio installed and a new driveway new fencing and landscaping by armoured drives Ltd couldn’t recommend this company any higher would recommend them to anyone
The job was carried out quickly and smoothly. Great communication from Felix and his guys during the process. The area was kept clean at all times and all rubbish was removed and swept away at the end of the project. You could tell that the guys were proud of their work and so are we. Well worth investment.
Armoured drives did a fantastic job replacing my dog worn garden with artificial grass with a slate boarder. Job was done much quicker than I expected. Highly recommend 5*
Felix and his team have just completed my block paved driveway and fencing. From meeting Felix to his team completing the work they were very accommodating, professional,polite and talented at what they do. Nothing was too much for them. They made sure all choices were mine throughout. They left everything tidy and made sure I was happy with the work. I still can't believe all this was done in 1 day. Amazing!! The results are outstanding. A massive thank you to Felix and his team for making this a pleasant and stress free experience. I would highly recommend Felix and his team from Armoured Drives.

Excellent service from start to finish. A very professional hard working team of people polite and friendly. Special thank you for the extra jobs you did for my neighbour's at no additional charge. Thank you Felix and Frank for our new driveway everything you promised and is certainly turning a few heads. Many thanks Dave
Don't be wary of using this firm. I would give more than 5 stars if possible. My very long tarmac drive was replaced with block paving. The gang was so hard working but neat and tidy. It was completed really fast but the quality is great and was a reasonable price
I have been in touch with Felix since March as shown in pictures and initially I was given 25/05 May date which postponed to 31/05 and finally 6/06 and finally 5 weeks definite slippage and no confirmation by his assistant “Frank”. I found them very insensitive and unprofessional because they have no work ethics and no professionalism. If Felix have told me in the beginning that we can’t do your job I would have been okay with that but instead of that he kept giving me fibs and lies. Total cost of the job was 10k, so it was definitely not a small job. I would never use Felix ever again and I would not recommend him to anyone. Everyone is replaceable, Felix should know that..I am so angry with this whole situation but I guess I can’t do much other than leaving this honest review. Felix …next time you give date to someone try being considerate and professional.
Great work great people 5 stars
Ameteur work, Verbally abusive staff, wouldn't trust them with my folks. You'll note there are no denials in the following posts. Also note the comments of Ian Hill. A man incaple of forming bonds with any neighbour. I leave it to the public to judge. It is all recorded on CCTV.
Wish I could give more than 5 stars, these guys were so good, Came out as agreed, on time, gave a highly competitive quote, helped with fantastic design advice, without any pressure and could not have been more hard working or professional. Most impressed with the fact that they did additional work outside of the budget, without charging any extra. I would definitely recommend Armoured Driveways. N.B. With reference to the Rob Gallagher's review, please note he was not the customer, he has his own issues and agenda, that have nothing to do with visiting trades people or deliveries but, have far more to do with his innate ability in losing friends and alienating people. Would you trust someone who doesn't know to use capital letters in their own name?
I’ve had my driveway Done by Armoured drives they done a fantastic job work Team we're polite and helpful all the way through the job always on time finished on time and was very clean and tidy from start to finish I wood highly recommend this company to anyone who wants a new driveway
I wood highly recommend armoured drives ltd
Iv had my drive way and back garden done last week and what and amazing job Felix and his team have done, the block paving on the drive looks great and the sleepers and new turf on my back garden look brilliant, couldn't be happier and i would recommend armoured drives to anyone, 10/10 guys Thank You.
I had armoured drives limited do my driveway, their staff were polite and helpful, They was on time everyday, swept up and made sure the job was clean every night. My driveway was completed to an extremely high standard and I would without question recomend armoured drives to anybody looking for a top quality job
Excellent work completed to a very high standard.... friendly and competant staff.... extremely happy with all aspects of the job.... many thanks
Professional through out very happy
We have had armoured drives ltd to do our driveway in block paving Felix and his team were hard working professional and got the job done would highly recommend to anyone looking to get there driveway done.
Prompt to start but promises a lot but deliver a fraction of what was promised. General drive looks good but their cutting of block pavings is a little undesirable. Cement when creating an edging is messing and I had to spend a lot of time filling the gaps where the sand should have been that I purchased myself. I would not recommend women using this company as they appear to only respect you if you have a man despite a woman earning the cash. I could not in all consciousness recommend them unless the work reflects the price.
We have a nice tarmac drive with a lovely brick border. It has been three years now and the drive is in great condition. Nice guys and very professional. Highly recommended.
