Well the flags ar more than 15 years old infact nearer 30 ;-)

The sizes .... 60M Square - 600x600 and 900x600 slabs approx

Wow!
60 M square makes 3600 square metres. Even if all your slabs were of
the larger size of
0.9 metres x 0.6 metres, you would appear to have to deal with around
7,000 slabs. I reckon you will need a gang of 10 if you want the job
to be finished in a reasonable time.

Aha !!!! wee bit of a typing problem there.... we are talking "square
metres" :-S

Current BCIS guideprice for removing and replacing level paving

50mm

500 mm?

Oops. I guess you meant thickness.

These prices are way out...maybe if I was supplying the flags, then yes, but
these are already on site...60 square metres would take me no longer than
6 - 7 days working alone and I would need to buy a couple of tonnes of sand
and about £50 worth of cement...the ground is already excavated, prepared
and compacted.



Assuming

his 60m2 would equate to almost two and half grand by those prices, I could
do it for about half that and still make £150+ per day.

Definitely 50 mm, thickness :-)

The BCIS price estimate includes excavating and disposing of the old flags
and replacing with new.
