Small Load Concrete Price

[charliegolf]

For a garden shed base, I need about 1 cu m.

1. Can a builder give a ballpark price please. I'm aware that small loads are expensive, but don't fancy mixing it myself unless it's MUCH cheaper.

2. Am I likely to get such a small amount pumped?

Cheers

You'll be lucky to get readymix let alone getting it pumped in the present environment.

Of course, but the price?

You will pay a massive premium for a single cube + pumping - ouch!

A cube of conc' amounts to raw materials consisting of 2 tonne of ballast, and about 13x 25kg bags of dust. Delivered you're probably looking at £140ish.

A single cube of ready-mixed conc' could cost as much as £240 depending where you have it from. Prices for a single cube could vary a lot and you could get lucky. You may get a generous wagon driver offering to you for say £100 cash. The pump is likely to be a minimum of £160.

This is a job for barrowmix. Maybe £150-200 depending on their minimum charge - you need to get on the phone - they never seem to publish prices.

Less than a dozen mixes in a Belle mixer and should be done in less than 2 hours
