What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Domestic surfacing projects such as resin drives and new paths feature in what customers report about this Ipswich-area tarmacadam specialist, and the standard of the completed work is the theme that runs through the accounts. A number of reviews mention a finish that looks smart and attracts notice from neighbours, with quality of workmanship singled out as the strongest impression left behind.

A customer who commissioned both a drive and a path was pleased with the outcome and noted that the team worked efficiently while keeping disruption to a minimum. Affordability is raised alongside appearance, the product being described as good value for what is delivered. The firm's local roots and long-established standing were what first persuaded one household to make contact, and a quotation followed promptly after the initial visit.

Friendliness and helpfulness are also mentioned, with the crew characterised as approachable and willing to assist during the works. Several accounts describe satisfaction with the finished drive or path, and the neat appearance of the surfacing is the aspect that comes up most often. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the care taken to limit mess and interruption while work is under way, which customers say made the process straightforward from start to finish.

We decided to use Booth Tarmacadam because it is a local firm and long established. This was just after the pandemic lockdown was being eased. Mr Booth came round promptly and gave us a quote which we thought was reasonable. However, the work had to be postponed twice which we were not too happy but decided to persevere as we preferred a local firm doing the work. We were told that they had outstanding work which had to be completed first. The weather was fine at that time and two months later, the weather soon changed to constant rain when our driveway was being done. We were concerned because from the internet search, we found out the the tar or asphalt could crumble after some time but we were reassured by the workmen that rain wouldn't make any difference. The workmen were very efficient, came on time and tidied everything up nicely. So, on that point we were very happy with them. Our driveway is now very smart and only time will tell if laying the tar/asphalt in the drizzle was a BIG mistake. We hope not. Mr Booth said to call him if there is a problem and he will come and have a look.
