Driveway Quotes

Here is some useful advice from a previous driveway contractor:

• Always get a few quotes! Some companies will overcharge if they think they can get away with it so don't always go for the first paving company you meet.
• Have an idea about what you want by looking at neighbours driveways, online, catalogues, builders yards.
• Be open minded to new suggestions for your driveway quotes. Good contractors will be able to tell you what looks best for the money.
• Ask for a written quote. this way you are clear what is being done. A written quote also gives you consumer rights.
• Never pay anything upfront. Reputable driveway contractors have credit at builders merchants so there is no need to risk loosing money. There should be no need for part payments either unless a job is extremely large.
• Give the workers plenty of tea. We love to drink tea or coffee when it is cold.
• When the work is complete have a good look around. This way you might just catch something that the workers have missed. It will you save the time and stress of calling the contractor to come back.
