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.
