Attempted rape last night re block paving

[Kev B]

Hi Stuart for this size job professionally paved with replacement block paving manhole cover and frames, aco type surface water drainage ( new legislation regardind dispensing water on to the highway), key kerbs to driveway entrance, 60mm paving allowing for heavier vehicles and cut in with diamond blade I would charge around £3,400.00. Others in our area would do it for less by cutting corners ie less excavation poor sub base, 50mm blocks, cheap labour etc.

Unfortunately I don't travel to Notts (except to DTD) but if you want advice my numbers are here. www.millenniumdriveways.co.uk

Hi Kev

Thanks for replying. I believe the Plaspave Sorrento Setts are a bit more than the normal paving?

Sorrento is a tumbled sett and you can get tumbled paving from pretty much all manufacturers. Plaspave is a good paver, at the moment through our suppliers Eaton tumbled are the best price.

Having a tumbled paviour you may have to buy to the nearest pack so 9.88m2 per pack means you/your chosen firm will need to buy 6 packs meaning a little wastage. On my costings your drive using Eaton tumbled would cost an extra £650. Total cost £4,050.

What you have to remember is if you have been quoted by a larger or national company then there are sales commisions and larger profit margins to pay, all + 20% vat.

These are the £4.5k guys http://www.pavingnottingham.com/

Quoted direct so hopefully no sales commisions. Gonna see if they will shear a little off it and then get them on it.
