My car was dripping oil on the drive. I attempted to use an oil remover to clean it off however it seems to have stained the drive more than the oil :S There is also a few bricks that have been stained with rust (yes, I need a new car 
). I am now thinking along the lines of removing the bricks and laying some new ones in their place. There are about 30 in total that need replacing. This is where I have two options. I get someone to do it or I try and do it myself. Obviously since it is only 30 bricks I do not require a skip etc. and the base will have already been laid. It is my understanding that the bricks will need to be taken out, replaced and then sanded. Ideally I would also quite like second hand weathered bricks since the drive has been down for a few years. How much would a reasonable quote for such work be?
