    The cheapest I could find was £800 give or take...thats in Scotland. They did a fantastic job of it.

    Ive been quoted £1099, which seems steep for just one car access

    we were quoted about £800 too (Derbyshire). Apparently you need to make sure that the company who does the work are covered with adequate insurance. Presumably as they're working on a public highway.

    Not got round to getting it done though....!

    It cost a relative £850 several years ago but that was in London and you have to use council approved companies only .......... its an expensive business....
