Calculator FAQ
Frequently asked
How accurate is the calculator?
Within 5–10% for standard installations. Complex drainage, slopes, or poor ground conditions may affect the final price.
Why are you more expensive than some quotes?
We include every essential step. A cheap quote that skips membrane, excavation depth, and screeding isn’t cheaper — it’s incomplete.
What’s not included?
Removing deep foundations or tree roots, soakaways if required, planning permission, or fixing existing drainage issues.
How long does installation take?
Typically 4–5 days for a standard double drive. Others quote 2 days because they skip crucial steps. We don’t.
Can I send photos on WhatsApp?
Absolutely. It helps us give you quick initial advice. We’ll reply as soon as we can.
