Due to some recent building work at my home, some cement that was being mixed on my pavement has now left the pavement by my property discoloured. So far I cannot remove it. Nothing I have tried has had any effect so far! Is there any way to remove this effectively?
1. Need block paving removing, area preparing & tarmacking. 2. New tarmacked area adding (reclaim from garden) for a motorhome. 3. Existing tarmac resurfacing. All to be resurfaced to look like one area. Existing block area to be removed, prepared & tarmacked: 36m2 Existing tarmac to be re-surfaced, some small repairs needed: 80m2 Additional garden to be prepared & tarmacked for motorhome: 22m2 All areas are approximate size so plus/minus 10%. Depending on the cost, may just go for new area for the motorhome. Need prices for the whole job please.
My builders did the paving stones patio, edges fixed in the mortar. However, they didn't put the edging aligned with the house but 10-20cm away from the wall (different distance in different places). I'm worried that in case of rain it's going to fill with water. It seems to me like they squared it so it was easier for them to lay it and they don't have to cut it. They say that's the reason it's supposed to be done, but no logical explanation. I'm not a specialist, but is there any other reason why it was done this way?
I'm looking for ballpark figures for a driveway extension. I understand it's difficult without seeing it in oerosn but would like to know how much cash I'm looking at having to save for it, roughly. It's to extend an existing single driveway into a double. The area to be converted is currently covered in loose gravel, about 120 millimetres deep, with soft earth underneath. The area is also sloped towards the house at about a ten degree gradient. It's around eleven square metres in total. I've already been granted permission for a dropped kerb and am awaiting a separate quote for that too.
how much of a deposit should I expect to pay up front for work and how long before should I pay this
We’ve just had our drive done, tarmac and brick edging, it looks amazing and all but we have a pool of water where we’ve realised it has a dip in the finish.. this is incredibly frustrating, what would be the solution to solving this please?
Hi, We are desperately trying to remove engine oil from our driveway paving and have tried everything under the sun! Any suggestions
We have a very large sloped courtyard. Currently several layers of tarmac, which all needs removing and re-landscaping as rain runs towards the house, not away from it. I need low cost solution ideas. Something that will keep the weeds out, but that heavy goods vehicles can still deliver pallets of manure etc to us, and also parking areas. Someone quoted us £50K-£100K to block pave it all, but we just don’t have that sort of money, and not sure that would solve the rain running like a river at times anyway. Look forward to hearing ideas.
I'm having new block paving laid around the perimeter of my house and was wondering if I should leave a gap or not?
