Terms of engagement — as printed on every quote
The six promises — squared away, in writing.
Every quote we write carries these six lines. They're not small print — they're the whole point. Hold us to them.
-
01.
A fixed written price before any work starts.
The number on the quote is the number on the invoice. If the ground throws us a surprise, that's our cost — not a new bill.
-
02.
No deposit. Not a pound.
One payment, at the end, when you've walked the job and you're happy. Anyone asking for cash up front at your door isn't working for us.
-
03.
Drainage to regulation, not to convenience.
Every drive is designed to SuDS drainage rules before a block goes down — falls calculated, water sent where it should go, in writing on the quote.
-
04.
Start and finish dates you can hold us to.
Both dates go on the quote. If Devon weather moves them, you hear it from us first — not from an empty drive.
-
05.
Our own men, on every job.
The blokes who price your drive are the blokes who lay it. No subbed-out crews, no strangers at your gate.
-
06.
If anything settles, we come back.
Five years' written workmanship guarantee. A drive that dips gets put right — you won't be chasing us round Plymouth.
Section drawing — block-paved drive, typical spec
What's under a proper drive.
By day three, most of what you're paying for is buried. This is the section we build to on every block paving job in Plymouth — and what happens when a cheaper quote quietly leaves a layer out.
FALLS DESIGNED TO SuDS DRAINAGE REGULATION ON EVERY DRIVE — DIG DEPTH AND FULL BUILD-UP ITEMISED ON YOUR WRITTEN QUOTE.
Dig to 250mm — down to ground that can carry a car, not just a wheelbarrow.
They skim off 100mm, or pave straight over what's there. Eighteen months later the drive sinks — and you pay twice.
150mm of MOT Type 1, compacted in layers until the whacker plate stops leaving a mark.
A barrow of crushed rubble, whacked once. By the first winter there are ruts where the car sits.
Falls calculated to SuDS drainage regulation — rainwater goes where the rules say it must.
Water pointed at your damp course, or into your neighbour's garden. Then the letters start.
Kiln-dried sand worked into every joint and compacted, then topped again before we leave.
Joints left half-filled. Blocks rock, edges chip, and the weeds are through by spring.
Every layer above is a line on our written quote — dig depth, sub-base, sand, fall. When you're weighing up block paving costs in Plymouth, ask the other quotes on the table to put their layers in writing too.
