He said it will take 1 day. I asked how much per sq meter he said he said he only quote for the work.Patio measures approx 18 ft by 9 ft. Not sure how to convert.

I mean repointing between the slabs.

Can you put a photo up please 

what size are the slabs and how wide are the joints

It's another one of those jobs that if you can't do it you pay someone else when if you looked at it you could do it easily

sounds cheap to me. The lastest pre mixed flag grouts are 50 quid a tub.

It certainly doesn't seem excessive to me.  If anything it's on the cheap side.  To remove and dispose of the old pointing material is going to take time and the job itself, depending on the slab size could a day's labour.

If theyre raking the old mortar out and repointing it . that's a fair price and a days job . if weather turns it could mean a return too
