What customers say
The neighbours did ask who did it.
Every word below was written by a real ROHK customer on Facebook. We haven’t tidied them up.
“Steve brought it to life perfectly.”
We couldn’t be more impressed with Steve’s professionalism and the standard of his work on our new-build garden. We had a vision of what we wanted, and Steve brought it to life perfectly. His attention to detail, precision and cleanliness throughout the job were fantastic.
We are absolutely delighted with the finished result and would definitely recommend Steve to anyone looking for a professional, clean and precise job. We are getting him back to do the front garden 😊
“Exceeded our expectations.”
We had our porcelain patio installed by ROHK after they were recommended to us by family, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. The finished patio is exactly what we wanted and has exceeded our expectations.
Steve came out to provide the quote and was both professional and friendly throughout the process. The team who carried out the installation were fantastic. They worked efficiently, paid great attention to detail, and completed the job to a very high standard.
A special thank you as well for entertaining our daughter, who was determined to hand out biscuits to everyone! We would highly recommend ROHK to anyone looking for a quality patio installation.
“Look no further than ROHK.”
We cannot thank Steve and his team enough!!! We are so thrilled with our new drive. Everyone was highly professional and hugely talented, not to mention kindness in abundance!!
Steve absolutely truly cares. If you are looking for someone to transform your outside area, look no further than ROHK.

The half you never see is the half that lasts.
Most failed driveways aren’t a surface problem. They’re a sub-base problem. Here’s the order we do things in, and why.
Survey & fixed quote
We come out, measure up and check levels, drainage and access. You get an itemised written price that doesn’t move — not a rough figure over the phone.
Dig out & sub-base
Excavated to depth, spoil taken away, then Type 1 MOT laid and compacted in layers. This is the part nobody sees and the part that decides whether a drive lasts five years or twenty-five.
Drainage & edgings
Since 2008 a new front driveway must be permeable or drain to a soakaway rather than the road. We set haunched edge restraints and fit channel drains or soakaways so it’s right with Building Regs.
Lay, compact & clear
Surface laid and cut in, whacked down, jointed and swept. We take the waste with us and we don’t leave until you’ve walked it with us.
The outfit
Everything arrives on the day.
Plant, materials and the same crew from dig-out to sweep-up. Nothing waits on a hire yard and nothing gets handed to a subcontractor halfway through.
About ROHK
A small Fareham firm that answers its own phone.
ROHK is a family-run building and groundworks firm based in Fareham, working across the surrounding villages and the wider South Coast. Twenty years in, we still run a small qualified team rather than subcontracting jobs out — so the people who quote your driveway are the people who lay it.
That’s the whole business model. We’d rather do forty jobs a year properly and have the neighbours ask who did it than chase volume and leave a trail of sunken blocks behind us.
- Same team from survey to sweep-up — no subcontractors
- Written 10-year guarantee on workmanship
- Fixed itemised pricing — the quote is the invoice
- All waste removed and the site left swept
Where we work
Fareham, and about forty minutes around it.
We work right across south Hampshire — the Meon valley, both sides of Southampton Water and over to the Portsmouth side. If you’re just outside it, it’s still worth a call.
Twenty towns and villages, all within a short run of the yard.
