Now is the time to get a driveway or patio quote. It seems like the wrong time of the year but that means lower prices. Most paving contractors will give cheaper quotes in winter. A patio or driveway price could be as much as 40% cheaper at this time of year.
Don't worry about the rain or snow. You can get a really great deal on a paving quote now as the companies are less busy. The only time paving contractors need to stop making a driveway or patio is when there is extremely heavy rain or ice. This usually just means a couple of hours waiting in the morning. Most jobs will still get completed within the same time frame or perhaps 1 day late. Fill in the form on the right now to get 3 free online paving quotes from local contractors.

This service is available cost free to the whole of the UK. Even if you have found a contractor you like, this will let you know what the competition charges and whether they can give you any extra ideas. Paving work is something that only needs doing every 20 years or so. Therefore it is worth taking time to listen to opinions from the experts. They are likely to have practical ideas and give recommendations as to what will be the most attractive design in terms of matching up materials.
The most popular drive surface in the UK this year is still block paving. The standard blocks can work out very cost effective. If laid correctly this surface should last 20+ years. If laid poorly it can start to dip quickly. For this reason it is always worth getting a few quotes and never choose based only on price. If you have to repeat the work in 5 years time it will end up costing more. Paying for a quality job will ensure that this is a one off task.
These companies will almost all give out quotations for patios too. It is a good idea to group both jobs together as it can be more cost effective. Many companies will also offer extra services such as walls, gates and fencing. If you need a new shed base or any other little jobs it will certainly work out cheaper to group them together with a driveway.
If you are stuck for ideas look for some new drives in your area or try a site like http://www.marshalls.co.uk/paving/ This is one of the best companies in the country for flagstones and block paving. They have good customer service and high standards when it comes to quality control. When you get a quote from us by using the form on the right, it is worth asking if the company uses quality materials from a company like Marshalls. You may even get lucky and find a contractor that is on the Marshalls Register of Approved Contractors. Firms on that list are guaranteed to do a good job on a new driveway. They might cost a little extra but it is almost always worth it for peace of mind.

Winter is the perfect time to get a new driveway or patio quote. Not only is the economy still slow, but paving contractors are traditionally much quieter over winter. This means that most companies discount their prices meaning big savings for you.
You can save hundreds or thousands of pounds on surfacing work at this time of the year. If you were thinking of getting a new patio next spring, why not get it in the winter months instead? The savings are likely to be substantial.
Also because things are quieter over winter, you will likely get your new driveway or patio done much faster. It really is a win win situation to get it done between November and February as your new surface will be waiting for you to appreciate when the first signs of spring sun starts shining.
