Hi all, basically looking to get my driveway redone. Had 2 quotes so far and both have said different things. To give a bit of background there is a concrete base which doesn't seem to bad but the tarmac on top has well gone and peeling / crumbling off. Area is approx 55m2
Quote 1 said: He can use the concrete base, fill in the holes in the tarmac, seal it and then bond a fresh layer of tarmac on top. Quoted about £4.5K and then as he was walking off said he'd discount it if I went with it in the next few weeks.
Quote 2 said: There is nothing there he can use, he'd have to remove all the tarmac, the concrete the lot and start again. Said I'd be looking "around £5K".
Now I'm not sure who to believe. I don't see why the concrete base can't be re-used but I think quote number 1 is over the top for that? But I don't know about these things so I guess I'll get some more quotes and see what the consensus is.
Here is a pic for reference:
