    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
