Pricing guide
Costs for new paving are driven by the condition of the existing sub-base and how much preparatory work is needed. The type and format of pavers (standard vs premium stone or large-format products) typically affects labour time, handling and wastage. Access, deliveries, callouts and any after-hours attendance can also influence the final quote.
Existing sub-base condition
A sound sub-base needing only shallow levelling is usually much simpler than one requiring excavation and import of compacted material.
Paver material and format
Natural stone, large-format or specialist pavers typically need more cutting, finishing time and higher wastage than standard concrete or brick pavers.
Site access and deliveries
Narrow access or heavy stone that needs special handling can increase time and may require delivery minimums or additional equipment.
Cutting and finishing complexity
Precision laying, tight jointing and specialist adhesives or sealants for premium materials usually require more skilled labour and time.
Excavation and compaction needs
Machine-assisted excavation and compaction are included where appropriate, but limited access can restrict plant use and extend the work.
