# Prices

Published bands are indicative and exist so you can sanity-check any quote you receive, including ours. Every real price follows a site survey, because excavation depth, spoil volume, access and drainage are the four things that actually move the number.

## Key facts

- **Driveways:** £40–£120 per m² (indicative)
- **Tarmac Driveways:** £40–£70 per m² (indicative)
- **Block Paving:** £60–£100 per m² (indicative)
- **Resin Bound Driveways:** £70–£120 per m² (indicative)
- **Commercial Surfacing:** £45–£90 per m² (indicative)
- **Groundworks:** priced by scope per m² (indicative)

## How much does a driveway cost per square metre?

Indicative bands are £40–£70 for tarmac, £60–£100 for block paving and £70–£120 for resin bound, all per square metre installed including excavation and a 150mm Type 1 sub-base. A survey is required for a firm price.

## Why can't you quote over the phone?

Because the four variables that decide the price are all invisible from a phone call: how deep we have to dig, how much spoil leaves site, whether plant can reach the area, and where the water goes. Any firm quoting without seeing those is guessing or leaving room to add later.

## What is included in a quote?

Excavation and disposal, sub-base material and compaction, membrane, edge restraint, surfacing to a stated depth, drainage where specified, and making good. Each line is priced separately so you can see what you are paying for and remove anything you do not want.

## Why are some quotes so much cheaper?

Usually depth. A 75mm sub-base costs half what a 150mm one does and looks identical on completion. Ask any contractor to state sub-base depth, binder depth and surface depth in writing — the cheap quote almost always gets thinner when it has to be specific.

## Questions and answers

Q: Do prices include VAT?
A: Quotes state clearly whether VAT applies. Our VAT registration number is {{VAT_NUMBER}}.

Q: Do you offer finance?
A: We agree staged payments against the programme rather than offering credit. We are not a credit broker and do not arrange finance.
