Any ideas roughly what it would cost (in Cambridgeshire, heavy clay) to
dig
about 15m of trench to a depth of 1m, bury insulated water pipes and some
SWA, backfill and put paving slabs on top?

Beyond 'hire a mini digger and DIY', where I'd probably spend most of the
time failing to drive the digger...

Thanks
Theo


why do you want to put paving slabs on top ?
have you considered a Moling Services you only need to dig two holes

-


And why a metre down ?. SWA doesn't need to go that deep.
Nor do Insulated water pipes, and clay is much better insulation
than sandy soil anyway.
What sort of traffic will be crossing this trench ?.



Wet clay is "better insulation"??
