Hi all,
A friend of mine has just had a 'quick job' done on a farm access road that was badly potholed, he was charged 4 grand for about 700 square meters and all they did was to plonk down about an inch of what I think is wearing course, no kerbs or top coat.
It took them only half a day and ive told him it will only last a couple of years before the edges break away and the pot holes re- appear !
Im no expert but the base course they used has a large aggregate and the fact the surface is not smooth and filled will surely mean that sun, traffic, rain and frost will soon open up these areas.
Ive tried searching the internet to find out what the up to date cost of tarmac (supply only) is ? I want to work out what he has been charged for the actual labour.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
