Hi



i here some were on here is an englishmen who does block paving and we need our drive way done does anyone no of anyone?



i have been told the locals only use sand under the paving and they dont level it off so when it rains it floods hence really looking for some one that will level it off and use cement its a very large drive so big job.

Hi Tony27



I think the best block paver is Danny Bishop 0533 8778196. Look in the living magazine to see some of his work.Or he will take you to look at them himself.

apc2010 - glad to see political correctness is alive and well in the TRNC - NOT



Tony27 stated the reason for their requirements - I suppose a Cypriot who uses a cement base would be welcome but if your command of Turkish is not very good how would you explain that requirement?

Hi there Tony,



We produce our own block paving stones and install them as well. It is true that here in N. Cyprus people uses just sand underneath however as a customer, should you need cement used underneath, that is not a problem.



We have undertaken number of projects in the Lapta and Alsancak areas. If you like a closer inspection, we can arrange that as well.



Our telephone number for any inquiries are as follow; 0533 887 6333 and 0542 887 6333

Hi guys thanks for the recommendations will call some today-regards comment 4 not sure what your problem is or how this is racist-think you may need to look up definition of raciscm-how is wanting a PROPER job done and not wanting a local to bodge it but thats ur strange opininon

Surely a Brit can 'bodge it' too? And is it someone specifically 'English' you want?
