It should cost about£2000+ depending on your builder. It wont sink if you have the correct substrate (about 6 inches of type one) and it is wacked dow properly.

£2000-£2500 they only sink if the pikeyes only put 75-100m type one down. should be 120mm of compacted type one then 50-70mm of sharp sand. lay blocks, (60mm blocks are better) then compact them all with a wacker plate and paving sand for a proper job.
