my advice, if your asking those questions, as an apprentice you shouldn't be pricing anything, leave it to someone who knows what they are on about

I dont often agree with sean just for the fun of it, but this time we are on the same page. You dont have knowledge of the basics, what happens when things get complicated? You are the tradesmen have a go heros that the rest of us curse bacause you give us all a bad name

daz that text talk really does my eyes in mate :;):
U no wot i sayin brah?
a linear drain going to a suitable soakaway is what you need
normally this drain runs where the drive and footpath will meet


these look good

at largerlout,,,,,, is it now a law that you need a drain to a soakaway to stop it going on to a footpath, dont want to do the job then find i need to rip it up, and does this law imply even if your changing a drive way like for like ?
