thanks again it is really appreciated everyone, he is coming to speak later so I can tell him my worry. yes if you look at the bricks the right hand side is the low point and were the water used to run. I am going to say I would be happier if they ran the aco drains into the drain what the roof...

The dpc is just below door and no damp problems in house at that side at all and tbh never ever opened that grey box so not sure ony thing there is telephone goes into the house. And i have read lots on paving expert and just find it easier to ask people who do the job daily and know my...

Thought would add few more pichures for you of the front of house along with drain on drive i susspect is sewage (round one)along with were drain pipe from roof goes into drain .Also the hole thats dug at the minute.

thanks again Ian oh ok I understand should by law ( building standards ) it needs to be 5m away ? the thing is I don't want to sound like a idiot who thinks he knows everything but my concern is being so close to building only few inches from next doors wall. but they are building standards...

See if its just a genuine rule of 5mt that worrys me but is there no offial law ? as only 1m away. Might say can that not be moved but the drive slopes down towards house and also on angle to with right hand side higher than the left so not sure if possible. But also going to say want more sub...

Any more info on if the drainage is ok would be great as he knows i am not happy with base but said may need more MOT 1 but he coming tomorro as pouring with rain so cannot do much today. They have dug a hole 1.2m from house and added some of the subbase in the bottom it is around 2 foot deep...

Thats for that mate as i was getting really worried by the last post like i say its a large company who have done loads of buisnesses and large jobs round north east with a profesional website and on checked and vetted so trading standards approved with loads of reviews. Going to say i think...

Well they started today amd manged to get all the grass up and all paving, the grass was lower than paving but they havnt really excavated much this may be becasue already has base were the block paving previously was and at end of day one they have base down and only a sprinkle ontop of were...

that's for all help and recommendations everyone its greatly appreciated. ordered the beamish cobble concrete blocks today in stone grey. will get sealed in spring or maybe enquire about doing it my self if can get better stuff for cheaper what do you recommend ? sometimes easier to just get...

Thats for that ahhh right ok thats fine then and getting clay oavers prices as if same price for normal clay pavers compared to the beamish cobble i may go that direction as all summer my drive in direct sunlight and so worried about pavers fading even when sealed.

the drain in to the left just out of my door as the land slopes this way but also slopes down towards house , so I would expect it to be near the house. would rather it go into drain but they know better than me. also thinking I may get quote for clay pavers and then decide between the clay...

got a much better estimate today and it was for a better stone (beamish cobble) so think going to go with that he said he most likely couldn't get into the drains on my pro[erty as the level slopes down and drain at the top so said he would use a sump and said the water drains into the ground...

Had first estimate today and came in at £5100 i got in touch saying i wanted to spend closer to 4k and they got back in touch with £4500 and thats quite a large company. I have got in touch with few others and say what they come back with, the thing i like about large company is they have a...

thanks for all that information, I have emailed 3 local company's with good reviews and going to start getting quotes. are clay pavers worth the extra as they hold there colour or if concrete pavers are sealed will that make them hold there colour ? and one company sent me back this "We...

Some people say they would usually have stone base, think i will ask them in a dry mix etc

on the video on chekatrade they have it just looks like dry mix they whack down then eventually it must turn hard once water gets in there but if ever need to be under for any reason I suppose would be a nightmare, how would I find out about the cable underneath and how deep etc ? also clay...

Thanks for that information, what do you mean when you say cost wise its a big extra cost ? You mean concrete base or stone base ? So i would like to have clay pavers i will have to start emailing some companys asking questions like how deep do you excavate and what base do you use etc. So...

Firstly thanks everyone for your recomendations and help. Also anyone who just got new drives got printed concrete in my area and i dont want that incase ever has to come up. I dont know whos cable etc it would be but i would expect it to be deep but if only 10cn thats bad how will u find out if...
