Anyone know the rough price per cubic metre of concrete?
Thanks,

quite expensive, but cant remember how much, but far nicer and worth the money to mixing your own 
i had 9 cubic meters when i laid the workshop base. was hard enough with 6 of us on the barrows

Depends how much your buying. If its garage floor quality (GEN3) this has no reinforcement fibers in it expect to pay around £130 m3 if you have a
single cube if you have 6-8 cube (the 2 size lorries) you will be looking to pay between 55 - 65 depending on the company
Bardons will do it cheap if you tell them Lafarge will do it cheaper as they are in a price war

No help, but you've reminded me of the time we needed the back yard concreting, years ago. Bloke over the road drove a concrete wagon and we
arranged for a few metres "cash in hand", he said he wasn't sure when it'd be, but when he delivered we'd better not
hang around.
A few days later I'd come home from work for my lunch and as I looked out of the kitchen window there was the roar of a big diesel and I was
looking a a *huge* pile of rapidly setting concrete. A couple of phone calls and a few hours backbreaking work, we had a concreted yard.
My main memory is how heavy the bloody stuff was

I just had a quote for 5 cubic metres, suitable for a shed base, £399.50 incl VAT, 110 wheel barrow loads
Remember most of these companies also have a wait time, when delivering.
The above company said the first 45 minutes were free but then I would be charged £15 for every additional 15 minutes or part thereof. Means you have
to unload pretty quickly.
Regards
Rob

Best way to get redimix is to go along with a trailer late in the day & offer cash. I could get nearly a cube on & paid £30.00 cash & did
that for 3 days running

I had 19 cube delivered the other week for my garage foundations and that came out at £56 a cube including VAT. As has been said the first cube is
the dearest as you are paying the transport costs. I've got another 9 cube coming for the garage floor on Thursday. Be sure to specify what
you want it for, my delivery on Thursday is mixed to suit a power floated finish so I can get a nice glass smooth surface.
