But thumbs down from me. Seven months is far from a realistic time to judge the durability of a job. Equally £50 per metre square is a ridiculous price to pay for a resin coating. Add to this the sub contracting and lack of control that exists and my observation is "Buyer Beware"
100 sm = triple drive, all pathways and also 5 large flower beds ( already there ) with grey curbing ( was 32 metres )
£7950 plus VAT - greater London,
I live under a bridge in England

What sort of ball park sum should I expect for a permeable block clay paving with an appropriate sub soil aggregate plus hedge removal ?
How much cheaper would it be if we used non permeable blocks ?
Please help !
i believe if you google hi bond block paving sealer that they should show up

just to add to this thread: We want to get our driveway block paved. First quote was £3600 for the following works:
- Remove old driveway (mixture of slabs, grass, walls, bushes)
- foundation for new driveway
- cheap blocks
- 58 sq meters (i.e., £62/sq meter)
- a "step" for the door
- drain at the bottom of the driveway (it has a slope towards the street)
- incl all materials and labour
- area: Greater London (St Albans, Hertfordshire)
If they are using slabs instead of bricks, they'd charge £2900 (£50/sq meter)
Not too sure whether this company is dubious/fine or not, will try to get more quotes.
Do you think this is reasonable or overly cheap?
Best wishes,
Andre
