Labour assessment
Based on the information provided, three days for two fitters is consistent with a 30m² patio including base preparation. The day rate appears in line with typical ranges for this type of work.
Materials assessment
The paving allowance works out at roughly £23/m². That appears higher than the estimated typical range for mid-spec porcelain, unless a premium range has been specified. Worth asking which product is included.
Potential concerns
- • The access / call-out charge is not itemised or explained.
- • No make or range is given for the paving.
- • Waste volume is not stated, so disposal cost cannot be verified.
Questions to ask the trader
- • Which paving product and range is included at this price?
- • What does the £100 access charge cover?
- • Is the sub-base depth and edging included in the labour figure?
Suggested target price
£1,850
Suggested maximum price

Ready-to-send negotiation message
Hi, Thanks for the quote for the patio — I'm keen to go ahead, but I'd like to check a couple of the figures first. Could you confirm which paving range is included, and what the £100 access charge covers? Based on comparable prices I've seen, I was expecting the job to come in closer to £1,850 all in. If you can work to that, I'm happy to confirm the booking this week. Many thanks
