    If anyone has prices of the Mayo lads per sq m it would be good if you could post them up.

    Also what is included in the price?

    I have kerbing done and the drive done in hardfill and maintenance.

    Got a driveway and road in to house done by Mooney and Kirrane last week, really good job, great machinery. Saw a lot of their work before i employed them, other customers were extremely pleased and now I see why. No connection apart from being a very happy customer.

    Hi all, Called about 5 different tarmacadam contractors, one turned up next day measured and gave price on the spot...........about 1500 over price chancing his arm. one other came after a week measured up and jumped into van and never gave quote, gave it a couple of days rang office told id be rang back with quote.....another 2 days nothing......rang office again....pretended she knew nothing and it was all new to her even though we had only spoke days earlier!!
    continously rang another man eventually got answer explained my location ( about 4 miles outside ballina) he knew my road ...claimed he had worked in the area......was on the way would be there before i left for work.........that was Wednesday.......its now Monday...no sign.
    I seriously give up, these f**kers are not busy, just pissed off they cant rip people off anymore like the good old days of 2005!!F.Y.I. to future people who find this thread I have been informed by a man in the construction game (hes seen it all !) the going rate in the day was €14/sq meter now its roughly 10 to 11/ sq meter...I wont be taken for a fool, I will however pay a fair price for a good job.............not happy :mad:

    can you re-tarmac over old tarmac or does it have to be taken up first and should it be cheaper or more expensive going over existing tarmac


  • Registered Users Posts: 500 ✭✭✭King Mallie


    It would be better to remove old tarmac in my oponion but im no expert.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,114 ✭✭✭cavan4sam


    just had michael harrington do my drive this week , sma for great price AND top class work done , no one in sligo area can touch him on price and believe me i've priced a good few , i can highly reccomend him , pics availible for any genuine enquiries


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6 snowpajero


    Hi,glad to hear your job went well, can you send on a pic please? Harrington due to do mine at end of month.
    Quick question, I have the whole drive/yard filled with 804 up to the bottom of the curb.
    I take it they will fill it up the rest of the way before they lay the tarmac?
    Michael Harrington priced it and seemed happy enough so I just took it he was doing it.

    Hi all,,

    i live in Cork, we have contacted over 30 tarmacadam contractors in cork
    each and every one gave ur the run around,,

    Buckley Quarries sent there agent out to us,, he gave me a Quote of €30,000 out from drainage and that would of been around another €5000 so TOTAL of €35,000 so been honest thats a joke,,

    i stopped at a local guy who had a tarmacadam job done around 5 years ago and still looks like new, asked how much is cost and for a contact number,,

    so i contacted Feeney Tarmacadam he was out on the day we agreed on, gave me a price of €14,000 now that makes more sense to me,, here is pictures of my house and i will keep posting as its getting done,, should take around 2 to 3 weeks,, that price covers everything ( Tarmacadam ground work kerbs everything )

    Name: Feeney Tarmacadam Address: Ballyduff Upr Waterford Category: Tarmacadam Contractors Phone: (058)60294

    Just got a price from Clarkes from Ni. They do a supreme job, they did our last house 6 years ago and it still looks brand new, 10 year guarentee.
    It's Asphalt, machine laid in two layers just like motorways..

    Pay peanuts and you get monkeys.. If the house is a keeper then get a good job done..

    Hi,

    I read this quote and wondered if you had any trouble with Clarkes. They did my drive about 9 years ago. After 6 months I noticed signs of the top surface deteriorating. It's got much worse now. I contacted them 5 months ago and they don't want to know. Is the 10 year warranty standard?

    Thanks

    Folks,

    Thinking of getting the drive done with Asphalt in the near future, any recommendations for the Cavan / Virginia area and what are the going rates at the moment ?

    Thanks in advance !
