hello and thanks for the add,

Im just wondering if there is anything on the market other than mot type1 i could use as a sub-base for paving. I need to bulk up around 6 to 8 inches in some places, i need around 15-20 tonne of aggregate and with no access to the back garden for plant im finding it a pain to move, is there anything more managable but will do the same job..

Thanks

If you have a gate that is around 750mm wide you could use a power barrow. It's basically the smallest dumper on the market and will probably cost no more than £150 a week all in.

we have done it knocking up 6m of concrete by mixer and then walking it through on a courtyard type house

no room for a pump and not wide enough for a wheelbarrow

no one liked it and we all sweated buckets but the jobs the job

we got paid and the job got built
