And the really expensive bit - laying the path. It's about 25ft long and
about 2ft wide and we're planning on slabs over sand. We've been quoted
£900 for this (£600 for labout - 4 days). My girlfriend's thinking is

They are taking the ****. (assuming this is slabs, and not natural stone
flags)
For a garden path of ~25ft long, I'd charge around £200, and possibly

Are you in the Manchester area by any chance?!!!!

Unfortunately, no, I'm in Leicester.
As I'm cheap, I've not been having trouble getting work recently, so am
now booked up for at least 4 weeks in advance.
(and I'm not cheap because I do a cowboy job, I keep my costs down, live
on a pittance, and work all hours. I also dont advertise, all my work is
word of mouth from satisfied customers passing on my details.)
