block paving prices in the east
What are current east england block paving/tarmac rates ?
Just got quoted 9.5k for about 200 sq m block paving, spec is 100mm MOT1, 50mm sand, concrete blocks. How does that sound? Before I go quote hunting further what about tarmac, is there much difference? 200sq m is a bit too much for me to to contemplate DIY! |

Your quote is around half the price of mine.. Darren |

I guess a lot depends on whether you go for the cheap and cheerful blocks or the fancier ones. Work out the material costs, then work out whether you'd be happier to d-i-y or pay someone the difference to do it for you. |

And then expect them to say they don't want the job if you come back saying 'I've found the materials cheaper'. -- Regards, Stuart. |
