That’ll do.it's not exotic I'm afraid. Just Guernsey.
How much are they quoting over there and what for?
That’ll do.
How much are they quoting over there and what for?
I've not bothered getting quoted for the drive but it's normally about 3 times England prices.

had ours done a good few years ago and cost about £1500. That was before when hardcore was put down and bricks on top. nowadays I believe its a concrete platform, hardcore and bricks.
major problems are weeds growing inbetween the bricks. don't bother pulling them out, just spray with weed killer and get them out when dead.
I would be tempted now to go for patterned concrete. No weeds and doesn't sink. Have a look around a private estate and you will find all sorts of drives. Ive seen one that feels quite soft but sturdy but the owner actually loves it

Good point. How much is that
We've just been quoted £650 to make our single drive into a double drive from the same ground workers currently working on this new build site

unless you can think of more things to do inside you house with a few grand than keep up with your neighbours block paving 'that always sinks' then go ahead.

Aye, council don't take adoption of the land until the builders are finished. As long as any 'remedial' works are in keeping with the rest of the site, ya don't need planning permission ie, paths are tarmac so you can't go getting indian sandstone everywhere, has to stay tarmac etc etc
The lads must be making an absolute fortune like. Whenever someone wants work doing, the site manager just hands the occupier the groundworkers number, ya see them working all hours

Bonded resin is lush but so so expensive. Just had drive and patio done). Block paving front and side, Indian stone patio. Over the moon with the job. Not cheap but well worth the money. Anyone considering getting patio.drive definitely recommend Spring Drives of Durham. Top top job.

Sorry, should have added that we needed a dropped kerb (Definite planning permission required) as well!
If you need anything doing that will change a path outside your house, then you'll need permission
