I would definitely recommend GR Day mini diggers work! Gavin answered my query fast and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. What we thought was a quick job we could do ourselves,wasn't and we soon realized we couldn't do this job without help and a digger! , so we called Gavin who was clear , prompt , gave good advice and was reasonably priced, he went above and beyond and did a great job, we are really pleased, he saved us a lot of time and we would definitely use his services again , it's hard to find good people who , turn up when they say they will , answer your questions and do a good job and Gavin does all this , trustworthy and highly recommend .
Fantastic service, would definitely recommend. Excellent value, stuck to quote, and gave great advice too.
Gavin did an incredible job and all in a day! He turned up on time and did not stop! We are very impressed with his work. Lovely guy and well priced. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone :-)
Gavin has just finished a job a job for me, he is reliable which is a refreshing change too some other trades people l have contacted in the past. Gavin is punctual, hard working, and extremely conscientious in his work and respects you property as his own. Gavin has good contacts, and will advise you on the best outlets to use for building,DIY products etc. Over all a top honest man.
Gavin was an absolute powerhouse! He got the job done in half the time I expected. I’d briefly considered hiring a digger and doing it myself, but after watching Gavin work, I now realise that would’ve been a complete disaster. He’s a true professional and clearly an expert at what he does, even making tight access look easy. He worked quickly, efficiently, and with real care, offering honest advice throughout (even on things like skip size and placement). On top of all that, he’s just a genuinely great guy! I couldn’t recommend him more. I've added a before and after. Previously a messy incline that we couldn't use, to now a flat area perfect for a patio.
Gav has now completed 2 groundwork projects for me. He is a genius👏👏👏The track outside my field has been notorious for flooding. With the bad weather we have been having, his work has really been put to the test. I asked him to work his magic and he did.I can’t speak highly enough of Gavin and his work. He goes above and beyond and is only happy if his customer is happy. Just brilliant!!!
So glad to have found Gav. His service and communication was superb throughout, and I’d 100% work with him again. We had a complex job with a challenging mixed load on a difficult to access area. He worked it with great skill, and was careful and respectful of any risk to our neighbours. The end job exceeded expectations, was done on time and for the agreed amount. Thank you!
