Would recommend to anybody!
I got in touch with Tommy and team around a year ago for some advice on putting our drop kerb and driveway in- my husband and I cant sing their praises enough. Communication was fantastic throughout- Tommy was so helpful and informative, and once we had gotten things in place on our side the work was completed quickly and to an excellent standard. Costs were great and transparent. Disruption to us was kept to a minimum and they were respectful of our property and neighbours- i feel anybody would be in safe hands with this team. Thank you again guys and we’ll be in touch in future!

Very happy to recommend
It was a pleasure to welcome Tommy and his team to deal with two dropped/reinstated kerbs on our property. They were polite, efficient and reasonably priced. We would certainly recommend them.

The best in the business!
Thompson Civil Engineering has just complete a job for us, transforming the front garden into a block paved driveway with a drop kerb. We could not be happier with the end result, we have had so many lovely comments from neighbours already! The men worked so hard and were such a joy to deal with, all very hardworking, professional and polite. There’s a reason TCE have such amazing reviews and have been in business for as long as they have. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for top quality service and results.

Happy to recommend
Excellent quick professional communication prior to works carried out. The work undertaken was an extended VCO, which we are extremely happy with. Everyone I had contact with, by email and in person, was polite and the work was completed in just one day. Perfect.

Professional and efficient
Just had a dropped kerb installed by the team. Very professional and efficient service. Tommy gave us a quote quickly and the work was carried the following week once the license had been issued. The workers were polite and did a great job in horrible conditions. Would highly recommend using Thompson civil engineering, and we will be using them again.
