FAQ
In the paving industry there are rogue traders that give others a bad name with poor workmanship, uncompleted installations, extra charges and loss of deposits etc. We have all heard the horror stories about the problems (as seen on BBC Watchdog, Rogue Traders, House of Horrors and Which Magazine etc). At Marshall K Paving we would like to give you reassurance and peace of mind and this is why we are members of Brett Approved Installer Scheme and Interlay, a network of installers whose workmanship is assessed by Brett and Interlay.
How can I tell if a company is a genuine member of Interlay, Brett or CPA?
