How Homeowners Can Get a Driveway Quote from PICS

Updated

PICS (Pattern Imprinted Concrete Supplies) provides a dedicated quote route for homeowners who want a pattern imprinted concrete driveway. The site's homepage asks "Are you a homeowner looking for a driveway quote?" and offers a "Get a Quote" entry point. That means you do not need to be a trade customer to start a conversation — homeowners are explicitly addressed alongside the trade and industry customers PICS has served since 1991.

Who the quote route is for

PICS describes itself as a UK manufacturer of decorative concrete products, supplying decorative concrete installers, main contractors, and homeowners. Its stated service model covers training, supplying, and supporting trade and industry customers, but the homeowner question on the site confirms that direct homeowner enquiries are part of the intended flow.

If you are a homeowner, the quote request is the starting point for discussing feasibility, pattern choice, colour, and finish. If you are a contractor or installer, the same company supplies the materials and systems you would use.

What to expect when you request a quote

The site does not publish a pricing table or an online calculator, so the quote is a contact-based process rather than an instant figure. Based on the product information available, a useful quote conversation will likely cover:

  • Pattern design — PICSPAVE offers over 100 pattern designs, including finishes that replicate natural stone paving, slate, cobble setts, decorative tile, traditional brick, and natural wood plank.
  • Colour — integral colour options and custom colour hardener combinations are part of the PICSPAVE system.
  • Finish and system type — whether the project uses pattern imprinted concrete, decorative overlays, or specialist concrete coatings.
  • Site specifics — the quote stage is where you would describe your driveway and any surface preparation or restoration needs.

Because PICS manufactures its products and retains samples for traceability after quality control testing, the quote can be tied to specific product batches and systems rather than generic materials.

How to start the process

  1. Go to picsuk.com.
  2. Use the "Get a Quote" link aimed at homeowners.
  3. Provide your project details — location, approximate driveway size, preferred pattern and colour direction, and any existing surface conditions.
  4. Expect a follow-up from PICS to clarify requirements before a figure is given.

The site also offers a "Contact Us" route and case studies you can review before enquiring, which helps you describe the look you want in concrete terms.

Practical points before you enquire

  • PICS has operated since 1991 and describes itself as the UK's leading manufacturer of pattern imprinted concrete products, so you are dealing with a manufacturer rather than only a reseller.
  • The company provides technical services for architects, surveyors, and specifiers from design stage through installation. For a homeowner, this means the same technical knowledge base supports the products quoted for your driveway.
  • No prices, deposit terms, or login requirements are stated on the page, so treat the quote as the point where commercial details are confirmed directly.

If your goal is simply to find out whether a pattern imprinted concrete driveway suits your property and budget, the quote request is the correct first step. If you already know the pattern and colour you want, bringing those details to the enquiry will make the response more specific.
