Lay paving in the front garden - 9square meters

I am interested in getting some paving put down in front of the house. The area between the house and the wall is about 9 square meters (or slightly less). It currently has some loose crazy paving in place. The house has a bay window at the front and the paving would have to be fitted around this. There would be a border where the existing hedge grows through. We are interested in block paving for the area, and ideally this would be supplied as part of the job.

Fix a leak from exterior wall

I have a mystery leak above my front door that I believe might be down to failed rendering on the wall above it, but I can't say for sure. I live in a basement flat and directly above my front door are steps leading up to a communal front door to the other flats in my building. These steps have been treated with waterproof sealant so I'm pretty sure the leak is not coming from there. Is this something you can help me with? I think the first thing to do is to come over and take a look if you can.
