Who actually does the driveway work?

The arrangement is deliberately simple. The site is built and run independently and brings work to a single contractor covering the patch. When an enquiry comes in it goes to them and to nobody else. They ring you, they visit, they quote, and their crew does the work. There is no middleman taking a slice and passing it down a chain.

That matters practically as well as commercially. When the person who quoted the job is the person on site, the specification does not get reinterpreted on the way through, the depths quoted are the depths dug, and there is one party responsible if something needs putting right. A lot of what goes wrong in this trade happens in the gap between the firm that sold the job and the firm that turned up.

Vetting is done before any details are passed on, and it is worth saying what that means and what it does not. It means checking that public liability insurance is in place and current, taking references, and looking at work actually completed. It is done on a best-efforts basis and it is not a guarantee — which is stated plainly in the terms rather than buried. Confirming the credentials yourself before work starts is always sensible.

There is no mandatory registration scheme for driveway contractors in the way there is for gas work, so there is no card to ask to see. What exists is voluntary — trade association membership, TrustMark, insurance-backed guarantees on larger jobs. None is legally required and its absence proves nothing, but its presence alongside a written specification is a reasonable signal.

The site is honest about the fact that it is a marketing site rather than the contractor's own. That is not a hidden arrangement — it is set out here and in the terms. What it is not is a lead marketplace: your details go to one firm, not to whoever is buying enquiries this month.
