Hi Folks

Can anyone recommend a company/person in the glasgow area for laying a patio with slabs.

The area is around 35sqm.

I've found the slabs which are going to cost around Â£300.

Also does anyone have an estimate on how much this project should cost in total.

It all depends on what work is required before anyone can give you a rough costing.

the jewsons catalogue suggests that the slabs form 20% of the overall cost of the job therefore another Â£1200 gets your job done!!

why dont you lay them yourself?, what with all the information the boss has given on this site and then ask the regulars anything your uncertain off. save you the costs of contractor. plus at the end of the dayt you can always say: aye did that :;): :;):

Thanks for the info guys.

I would do it myself If I didn't have a slipped disk in my back

The slabs I'm going to get come in 25mm and 32mm thickness.

Do you think the 25mm ones will be okay or should I pay the extra and get the 32mm ones.

Link for the slabs below.
