I recently requested a quote from a local company in the midlands known as creative paving and the sum to pave and build an wall along side one of the edges was a wapping total £3800. i have no knowledge about this process and this company and was wondering weather or not this was a reasonable priced Job with an area of aproximately 20 ft by 24 ft.

I would appreciate any help or guidance from the pro's as this is one of my greatest learnig curves. Thanks Chrishttp://www.pavingexpert.com/iB_html/non-cgi/Sk ... /icon6.gif

The price will depend on the type of block being used size of the wall access etc

it is very difficult to price as job without looking at it

but for as strsight forward project work on £45-55 m2 + the wall

Why not get another quote from another company?

This is another great mystery - why do so many folk get ONE price and then worry themselves stupid over whether it's a fair price or not? And why do they feel it's a good idea to 'phone me and ask me to price a job I do not want, that I cannot see, in an area I do not know? How effing difficult is it to get another quote?

As it says on the mian website - always get at least THREE quotes: that way, you have summat to judge.
