New Patio - Cost (not DIY) - Bucks/Oxon Border

[UpTheIron]

Can anyone recommend a company and / or estimate a guide price based on recent experience for laying a patio (approx 33sqm)? Old patio to be dug out and new one laid...what price per sqm?

[Catherine197]

Approx £100 a square metre plus VAT, depending on the chosen paving material.

That should get you a job done by a Marshalls Approved Contractor with a guarantee.

It all depends on what you want in terms of slabs or block paving then theres the types of blocks/slabs avaliable , any raised edges,drainage etc.

As a very rough guide for a nice block paviour expect about £80 per meter all in and for a natural stone slab about a tenner more per m sq.

I dont think i,m anywhere near you but have a look on my website www.williamspaving.co.uk for some ideas.

Also click on the link which says Brett register. From here you should be able to find a good installer local to you. The brett register is policed by a leading manufacturer and is a pretty sure fire way of making sure you dont get bodgit and legit in.
There are only 200 odd members in the uk which is shocking when you think how many paving companys are about....

You will find a huge difference in prices i imagine,all for good reason too.
Too cheap can only mean one thing........

If you find someone good and cheap let me know, i'm looking as well in Oxfordshire/ Berks border for someone to block pave my drive 85m2, had quotes between £9K and 6K, seems an awful lot, especially when one guy said due to the great access etc it'd only take him a couple of days. Are materials that expensive?

Bloody hell, I didn't realise patios were 3-4x the price of a decent carpet!
