I have done a complete renovation and discovered the hard way that £70.00 delivered for a cubic meter of concrete is not bad value for money :D
 
For both you're looking at 2 and half tonne of ballast and around 22 bags of cement which means alot of mixing not sure what the materials would cost you, if i was doing it and the access was ok i would get barrow mix 2 cubic metres.
