Patio in back garden, quote

Hi,
I am in the process of getting around 15 squared metres of patio sorted in my back garden (paving slabs). What do you think would be a fair price including materials? (East London)

Thanks

    will there be much digging out? removal of waste? other work need completing? type of slabs

    For example I just paid £1390 for 15ms of 3 different size slab, 3 sleepers for a raised bed, removal of all rubbish etc and im in Northampton

    I'm delighted with the end results


    I use trust a trader now, I always get 2 or 3 quotes from there and use the quote and reviews to make my decision. touch wood ive used it 3 times and had 3 good experiences

    Problem with such sites is that anyone can write a review as long as there is an email address.

    OP- as said get 2/3 quotes. i find which local to be slightly better for finding local tradesmen as at least the reviews are by mostly paying members. they do a trial membership if you are currently not a member.
