About the company

A Valley Plant was established in 1978 and is owned by John McCarthy. For its first five years, the business hired out the owner and a JCB to local building companies. The company invested in a concrete and rock breaker and operates a fleet of machinery ranging from 1-tonne to 9-tonne dumper trucks.

It offers concreting, groundwork, and landscaping services. A Valley Plant has worked on new build and self build projects, carrying out drainage landscaping, foundations for new builds, concrete footings, and garage floors. It has worked with clients in Berkswell and completed jobs for a client over a period of 15 years.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Groundworks, driveway resurfacing and drainage work form the core of what A Valley Plant delivers around Coventry, and the accounts left by customers return time and again to the same handful of strengths. The name that recurs is John, whose manner is described as professional, knowledgeable and seriously applied to the task. Several customers highlight the standard reached on extensions, drives and general ground works, with the finish and the small final details receiving particular mention.

Punctuality and organisation are also praised, one household noting that his experience allowed the following day's stage of work to be anticipated, so site inspections could be arranged to the hour. Tidiness recurs too, the working area being left clean once the day's target had been met. Communication at a difficult location is singled out, where deliveries were arranged and overseen and progress passed on as it happened. Experience is credited with the steady progress of each job, and a resurfaced drive that also dealt with drainage issues is cited as typical of the completed result.

John has just completed some ground works for us in Coventry. We met John when he was carrying out some work for our neighbours. John is extremely professional, knowledgeable and a great tradesman. John took the time to ensure that the work was done to a high standard and we are extremely pleased with the quality. We cannot recommend A Valley plant enough, you will not be disappointed.

John has recently resurfaced our driveway and attended to drainage issues. Despite our difficult location he seamlessly organised and supervised deliveries, keeping us updated at all times. We appreciated his attention to detail and finishing touches. We would thoroughly recommend A Valley Plant.

John did a great job on the first phase of our house extension. He takes his job very seriously, works hard and doesn't waste time. He is an experienced and hard working man. Thanks to many years of experience, he is able to predict at what stage of work we will be the next day. This allowed us to organize site inspections with accuracy to the hour. He ends work when the goal for the day is achieved. He always left everywhere clean and tidy when he left work at the end of the day. John has its own equipment and also organizes skip collection, so I saved a lot of time and didn't have to worry about anything. Moreover, John is an extremely nice, sympathetic man. His friendly manner means he is a pleasure to work with. We couldn't recommend John and his service highly enough. Thank you so much once again Alex and Radek
