i did a job for some relatives near chelmsford , and need 1.2m. Got the company just up the road to quote, £250+vat.
Rang up one of these "mix as you go" wagons, they charged £120+vat. And they came from southend!!
It pays to shop around.
I am fortunate enough to have a local family run firm here and they are a smashing company,D hardings concrete, always willing to help, and are very fair on price. they have just brought their own pump too.
