Welcome to the new-look pavingexpert website!

You may be a first time visitor or someone familiar with the old website which served well for 20-odd years but a new decade needs a more responsive design and simpler navigation. There is still a lot of work to do with this new site, so please bear with me while I get images updated and the new content coralled into the right place.
