Want A Guide Price Right Away?

You don’t have to wait for a site visit to find out roughly what you’re looking at. Send us a couple of photos and the measurements and we’ll come straight back with a guide price.

  1. 1

    Take two or three photos

    The whole area from a distance, plus anything awkward — steps, slopes, narrow access or an existing surface that needs taking up.

  2. 2

    Measure the width x length

    Metres or feet, whichever is easier. A tape measure is ideal but pacing it out gets us close enough for a guide.

  3. 3

    Send it over

    Email or text the photos and measurements with your postcode. We’ll reply with a guide price, usually the same day.

A guide price is an estimate to give you a ballpark figure. The final fixed price is confirmed after a free site visit, once we’ve seen the ground, access and levels for ourselves.

What to send

The More You Send, The Closer We Get

A guide price is only as good as what we can see. You don’t need to be precise — but the more of the list below you can cover, the tighter the number we can give you.

  • A wide photo of the whole area from a few steps back
  • A photo looking the other way, so we can see the access
  • Width x length in metres or feet — roughly is fine
  • What’s there now: tarmac, slabs, gravel, grass or bare ground
  • What you’d like instead — tarmac, block paving, resin, sandstone, porcelain
  • Your postcode, so we know we cover you
  • Anything awkward: steps, a slope, a manhole, a narrow side gate

Measuring up

How To Measure Your Area

Two numbers is all we need. Pace it out if you haven’t got a tape — one long stride is about a metre.

Driveways & Paving

Measure the width at the widest point and the length from the pavement to the garage or house. If it’s an odd shape, split it into two rectangles and send both sets of numbers.

Patios

Width x length of the slabbed area you want. If there are steps involved, tell us roughly how many and how much of a drop there is between levels.

Walls & Sleepers

Length of the wall and how high you want it — or how much soil it needs to hold back. A photo from the side helps us see the levels.

Good to know

Guide Price Questions

How accurate is it?

Close, for most straightforward jobs. What moves a price is what we can’t see in a photo — how deep the existing base goes, how soft the ground is, and whether there’s drainage to sort. That’s why the fixed price comes after the site visit.

Am I committed to anything?

Not at all. A guide price is a number to help you decide whether it’s worth taking further. There’s no obligation and we won’t chase you.

How quickly will I hear back?

Usually the same day, Monday to Saturday. If we’re out on site it might be that evening — but you won’t be waiting days.

What if my job is unusual?

Send the photos anyway. If it’s something we’d need to see before putting a number on it, we’ll tell you straight away and arrange a visit instead.

Got your photos ready?

Send them across on WhatsApp, by text or by email with the width and length, and we’ll get a guide price back to you.
