Driveway Surface Options and Prices – Survey 2023

If you are considering renovating, improving, or enhancing your home in any way, one place to start is by resurfacing your driveway. Driveway resurfacing involves covering the existing surface with a new layer of material, which can provide a number of benefits. For example:

  • Resurfacing can help repair cracks and other damage to the surface, improving the overall appearance of your driveway.
  • A new surface can also provide better traction and make it easier to navigate your driveway in wet or icy conditions.
  • Resurfacing can also extend the life of your driveway by protecting it from further damage and wear and tear.

Overall, driveway resurfacing is a cost-effective way to improve the appearance and functionality of your home’s exterior.

Lately we carried out a survey with some paving contractors on Tradesmen.ie.  We asked them roughly how much would it cost, per meter sq, excluding vat, for their preferred driveway surface, including site preparation.  We also asked if they had any tips for the customer on having a good experience with the tradesman.  These prices and tips may also be of interest to anyone considering resurfacing a yard or patio.  Here are some of the replies we received below:-

Gutters Fascia & Soffit Cost Survey 2023

Gutters Fascia & Soffit Price Survey

A while ago we carried out a survey with some tradesmen on our website to find out how much it would cost ex vat for materials and labour to replace old gutters, fascia & soffit on an average semi-detached 3 bedroom house. We also asked for any tips they had to get the best job done.  First of all, why would you need to replace gutters, fascia, and soffit?  Well there are several reasons why you would need to replace gutters, fascia, and soffit and some of these are as follows:-

  1. Water damage: Gutters, fascia, and soffit are important components of a home’s roofing system, and they work together to protect the structure from water damage. Over time, these components can become damaged, leading to leaks and other water-related issues.
  2. Wear and tear: As with any other component of a home, gutters, fascia, and soffit can become worn out over time. They may become cracked, warped, or otherwise damaged, making them less effective at their job.
  3. Pest infestations: Gutters, fascia, and soffit can also become a target for pests such as rodents and insects, which can cause damage and create potential health hazards.
  4. Exterior attractiveness: In addition to functional reasons, replacing gutters, fascia, and soffit can also improve the appearance of a home. If these components are damaged or outdated, replacing them can give your home a refreshed, updated look.

Overall, it’s important to keep your gutters, fascia, and soffit in good condition to ensure that your home is protected from water damage, pests, and other potential hazards. If you notice any signs of damage or wear and tear, it’s best to address them promptly and consider replacing these components if necessary.

Well, getting back to the costs involved, you can see a sample of the replies we got from some tradesmen on our website below:-
