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!


I had a quote 40 sq Yards 3995 +vat. Your quote is around half the price of mine..

Round here you're looking at about 6k for a regular car sized driveway. 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.

ask them to break quote into labour & materials ... and then see if you can better the materials price.

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