Customer Testimonials - Neil Stringwell Tarmacadam Ltd

Over the past 30 years, Neil Stringwell Tarmacadam Ltd has built a strong reputation across West Yorkshire for quality workmanship, reliability, and friendly service. Here are some words from our valued customers in Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate, and surrounding areas, sharing their experience with our tarmac driveway, resurfacing, and groundwork services.

Howard R. Woods (Chairman) - The Homestead Estate Limited

“Mr Stringwell was employed by the Homestead Estate Limited to resurface the area of the Estate’s roads which are subject to the heaviest wear level. The area concerned is of about 800 square metres and encompasses three T-Junctions as well as the Entrance to the Estate. It is a particularly difficult job because there is only one Entrance to the Estate and everyone then has to use the subsequent T-Junction. Only thereafter can a one-way system be imposed to route traffic away from the works. There is a high vehicle flow at all times.
In order to minimise the disruption to the Estate’s residents, Mr Stringwell arranged to complete the work in just two days by the application of an army of men and machines. We had originally anticipated it would take a lot longer.
At all times the contractors did their best to minimise disturbance, were courteous to residents and went to great pains to facilitate their entrance to and exit from the Estate.
The work was completed on time, to budget and to a high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Stringwell for any tarmacadam project.”

Su Ensor

I would highly recommend  the team at Neil Stringwell if you are thinking about any residential tarmac or groundwork jobs. 

From beginning to end, of what was a fairly large job for a standard residential property, we were given helpful advice and options for maximising the finished effect of the new drive and garden area.  All members of the team were friendly and worked hard to get the job done. Nothing was too much trouble and they were helpful in guiding us through our requests as the job progressed. 

In my experience, this is a professional team with a family friendly focus. Top marks all round!

Dr & Mrs J Sager

Neil Stringwell Tarmacadam Ltd carried out repair work to the car park at our property Shadwell Medical Centre in February 2026.

The car park receives very heavy use and repairs needed to be completed with minimal disruption. Neil responded very promptly to my enquiry and visited the site to

advise on what was needed and he provided a written quotation the following day. The work was completed on a Saturday when the complex is less busy with minimal fuss and

everything left clean and tidy. 

Neil was a pleasure to deal with from the beginning to end and gave us good advice on the best and most cost effective solution for the required work. We highly recommend Neil and his team for any tarmacadam job.

Terry and Diane Bollen, Baildon

Thank you for the excellent job you and your team did when resurfacing our drive and pathways last week.

The men worked really well together and were a pleasure to have around.

The finish was immaculate and the site was left absolutely pristine with no tidying up for us to do.

Thanks again for a superb job at a good price. We are so pleased with our new drive

Beth & Kev Baldwin

Thank you so much Neil and your team.

From start to finish your team has just got on with the job and have done a high standard of work. My new driveway looks lovely. 

I’d most definitely recommend Neil and his team if anyone is considering getting a new driveway in the future.

Angie Hyde, Guiseley

Just wanted to reach out and say thank you to you and the team for doing a brilliant job with our drive and dropped kerb.

The team were quick and efficient from start to finish and the end result looks absolutely fantastic.

The lads on site were polite, conscientious with parking for the neighbours and clearly work very hard. The site was also left as clean and tidy as possible meaning minimal disruption for my family and a surprisingly little amount of mess! – Scott Wilkinson

The quote you provided was very reasonable and comparable to your competitors, and you came in spot on the quote with no uplift. I can’t ask for more than that.

I would be very happy to recommend you and the company in future. It’s nice to find a local business that does such a good job.

Many thanks to you and your team for an outstanding  job on my driveway. It looks superb and every step from our initial discussion to my completed driveway was carried out with ease and professionalism. I’d delayed refurbishing my driveway as I thought it would be a nightmare. Your team made it a breeze and my only regret is not getting it done sooner!

Jack Gibson

“What a difference!!”

After a previous failed attempt by a builder to create the drive we wanted, we were recommended the Neil Stringwell team to put it right.

We have not been disappointed — and let us tell you, what a difference it makes to bring in true experts who take pride in their craft and deliver top-quality work.

Communication with Neil and his team was excellent. They were all professional, efficient, and extremely tidy in their work. We ran into a few challenges caused by the previous builder’s work, but Neil and his team knew exactly how to fix it.

We couldn’t recommend the Neil Stringwell team more highly. If you’re looking for high-quality work that will last, carried out by real experts, give Neil a call — he’s a fantastic guy.

Sue & Nigel Law

” Neil, you have transformed the frontage of our home, at a cost that was within our budget. We are delighted with the result.

We contacted you about surfacing our drive, but had no firm ideas on how we could improve other areas. You gave us invaluable advice on what could be done and thank you for recommending first class trades people to carry out other works.

The groundworks and tarmac surface were completed more quickly than we expected. You have a great team and everyone was respectful and friendly. We appreciated the way everyone was mindful of our neighbours and did all you could to minimise disruption in the street, constantly keeping the road clean, especially at the end of each working.

Thank you Neil, and please pass on our thanks to all those who worked with you. “

Judy & Robert Marshall

Thankyou for the large area of work completed at our property recently.
We are very pleased with the work done. For our second time, we again received good advice from the outset, with excellent communication. The procedure and costs were clear and on budget. The job was completed to a very high standard and your amazing team worked together excellently, efficiently and quickly to complete a top finish job. Thankyou once again for your hard work, thorough attention and care to detail and sound advice.
