How much should you pay to lay tarmac?

[hornetrider]

I'm getting a few companies round to quote extending my existing tarmac drive. I'll be needing around 25 square metres with associated edging - plus I'm assuming they'll have to dig down a bit as the soil is level with the surface of the existing driveway.

Does anyone have any idea of rough costs?

I can't believe noone has enquired whether you like dags yet.

Normally you get paid to lay tarmac, not the other way around.

It is too small an area to give a guide price per m2. You'll mainly be covering the time of the installers.

Find a friendly guy on the council....who'll put you right when there's excess tarmac to be shifted....£250 cash payment ( only after the job's done).

Typical back hander

I had my drrive tarred it avaerages 7 meters wide by about 20 mtrs long and was 3k to lay 60 mm tar, dig out and lat 300mm of hardcore below the tar.
