Hi
I have had an application for a dropped curb approved by the council and need to build my drive way before they do their part. Problem is, I will be undertaking major rennovation work on the house.
Rather than spoil any new block paved drive way, I was thinking of just getting a cheap temporary concrete drive put in (approx 3m wide 4m length). At present its just soil in that area and some layed on tiles.
Had a qute of about £1500 for this to be done (inc skip). I was told hardcore would be put down along with approx. 10cm / 4 inches of concrete.
Questions:
1) is this a fair price?
2) can the same concrete be used as a foundation when it comes to the block paving or will this need to be dug up again?
3) Is this the best way of doing what i am trying to achieve i.e. quick fix for the council to install the drive way but not choosing to put down block paving now in order not to spoil the drive due to skips, lorries etc going forward for the house rennovation?
Many thanks.
