Actually, the way the pikey tarmacking thing works in Kent is one of 2 ways.....either they give you a price which is quite reasonable, do the job and then say that the quoted sum was per meter......or (now that people are wise to that one) they quote a price and then once the work is done they merely say that they had actually quoted a higher (exorbitant) price and demand you pay up (with menaces) .......I have personal experience of both of those situations. (my father and a neighbour)
oops, sorry....I forgot a third scam.......they roll up and demand that you pay them for earlier tarmacking (that you didn't want and didn't know anything about before it appeared on your drive)

I had the last happen many years ago, they kindly filled in the pot holes on my grandfathers driveway. He had told them not to touch it but they ignored him, he called the police but I arrived before them.
They got the message from me alright!
