keen to go it alone, there’s a wealth of installation

If you do go down the DIY route don’t forget to allow
for extras like fencing, plants, furniture or any other
unexpected costs within your project.
The other approach is to find an installer you are
comfortable with - Brett Approved Installers (BAIs) are
a great option (see pages 14-15). Then agree a fixed
budget with them for the work you want doing.
This simple step lets your installer know exactly what
they are doing and ensures there are no unpleasant
surprises for either of you – allowing you to relax and
enjoy watching your project taking shape.

The Brett Approved Installer

scheme is a network of
installers whose workmanship
is rigorously assessed and
monitored by Brett both in terms
of the absolute quality of their
workmanship, peerless customer
service and financial probity.
The aim of the Brett Approved Installer scheme is to offer you the ‘best of the best’
paving contractors in the market who can install your Brett driveway or patio to the
highest standards. This ultimately significantly reduces the risk of you choosing a rogue
paving contractor.
All Brett Approved Installers have access to the latest technical and support services
offered by Brett and so can easily help with product choice, design, logistics, British

sedimentary stone product such as Sandstone.

appearance is dramatically changed between a polished stone and a textured stone.
These variations can be used to create amazing designs where the differences can be used to provide dramatic
