DSPUK Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Three years ago I had one in to clean out garden (Small) put up 7concrete fence post's and 6 concrete gravel boards - take up all tarmac on drive from between concrete runs and it cost £1k that was including skip and materials. Just had another guy in to lay 150 18x18" slabs and was 2 days at £150 a day - lot of slab cutting involved - I bought all the materials. - with every job I have had done it seems to cost me a weeks wages for a few days work. Nothing is cheap today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
