Hello

Just looking for some advice on a rough cost on having a trench dug for cabling in an ev charger. The run is only around 10 metres long and is a mixture of concrete tarmac and soft ground. From what I've read it should be 600mm and then the ducting in. Most recent quote was over £3000 which is personally think is madness.

I would love to hear your ideas

Is this just to dig a trench and leave it open and not dispose of any waste?
Or to dig, having checked for no buried services, lay ducting, fill in and make good concrete and tarmac?

And all on your own property?
