probably best to email them a competitors quote and ask them to match / beat it.
At least you are all on the same page then.

wouldnt have the fckers in the house "cold" 

Did you try that guy who did our drive Rog? I sent you a PM several months ago with his number when you first mentioned getting your drive done. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

never got an answer mate, just rang out then kind of forgot about it as finances changed.

its always going to be cheaper to do the labour myself, its just finding the time to do it but the neighbour is very good (ive seen his building work as well as his own drive and he replastered my large kitchen and study at a good price)

bit of hard graft never hurt anyone (my son is in for a shock when I throw him a shovel to help )

cheers for the PM Rog, been out to measure the drive and down side of the garage and behind it and its 58m2 so will work out a little less on the costing you gave  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

no prob

ive got some PDF files they sent me with the marketing blurb etc on it but they are pretty informative with some nice pictures

I noticed on the email though that the price he quoted was a trade price, so I may need to get my builder to order it under his company name.

this is the 'authorised quote' I got
=========================================================================

With stone supplied 3.650.00 inc of vat
==================================================================

they recommend a ''rumble strip'' across the front of the drive so there is a barrier between the gravel and the footpath/road. Either block paved, slabbed or concrete would do the job I guess (this quote is for granite blocks)
