Pricing guide

The main cost driver is whether the existing base can be overlaid or must be fully rebuilt, since excavation, new subbase and compaction usually add significant labour and material requirements. Premium finishes and specialist materials typically increase skilled labour and product costs, while heavy demolition, large spoil disposal, restricted access or the need for engineered drainage or retaining solutions can also widen the scope. Callout fees and after-hours attendance typically add to the final price.

  • Existing base condition

    A sound base suitable for overlay is usually much less involved than a full-depth rebuild requiring excavation and new subbase.

  • Surface finish and materials

    Premium options (natural stone, porcelain, decorative pavers or exposed aggregate) generally need more skilled labour, precision cutting and specialist adhesives or grouts.

  • Extent of demolition and spoil removal

    Heavy demolition or large-volume spoil disposal is typically treated as additional work beyond standard site preparation and increases plant and labour needs.

  • Site access and plant requirements

    Restricted access or the need for larger plant can extend the project timeline and may rule out simpler resurfacing methods.
