What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Patios, driveways and paving projects dominate the feedback for Dibben & Sons, with reviewers consistently highlighting the standard of the finished result. Shaun and his team are described as polite, friendly and hard working, and their habit of suggesting improvements as work progresses comes up more than once. Block paving, porcelain patios, a path and Astroturf are among the jobs mentioned, along with the overhaul of a tired tarmac driveway and a ramp constructed to a customer's precise specifications.

Quotations are said to have compared well with others obtained, and several accounts note that the workmanship was of high quality and completed across difficult weather conditions. Tidiness is a recurring theme, with sites cleared of debris once the job was done. A detail many reviews return to is how snags were handled: when two slabs later worked loose, the matter was attended to promptly after contacting Shaun, which reviewers present as evidence of dependability. The respectful and helpful manner of the workforce, including Shaun's sons, is noted alongside a readiness to take on further work in Bournemouth.

I had Shaun and his family out transforming my tired old tarmac driveway into a beautiful bock paved driveway. 120 square meters in total. They worked tirelessly for 2 weeks to complete the masterpiece, I cannot rate them high enough, they are a super polite, friendly along with being a very hard working team. Looking forward to having them back for the next project.

Very pleased with the new porcelain patio and block paved driveway. The guys worked really hard in all weathers, and have done a first-rate high quality job. Friendly, tidy workmen and it was a pleasure to have them around. I recommend these guys without hesitation.

Very polite and friendly workers, two of them were the sons. We are very pleased with the relaying of our patio and all mess was cleared away. Two slabs were subsequently found to be loose but that was remedied after contacting Shaun.

1st rate. Made a wonderful ramp for me, after another landscape made a hash up of an attempt. It's to my specifications so I can drive my mobility scooter in & out of my front door.
