If that's your vehicle at the right hand side the driveway should be wide enough already.

yeah sorry it's a bit big any thoughts? £1500 is that a rip off for tarmac and digging it all out?

The only way to find out what is a fair price is to get a number of quotes. Despite the photo, we can't see the site and assess access, drainage and a hundred and one other factors that influence a price.

So: do as it says on the main website and get at least two more quotations.
