The existing paving was at 1 brick below damp,same all around house,he's a retired civil engineer so knows the trade, in this area the are alot of houses at 1 below damp,to reduce it would be more work than enough ,free draining ground so no standing water, but at the end off the day he requested to replace line and leval so that's what we did MSH :)

We can get c35 at £68/m if we order over 50m in one pour

Last year we did about 340m3 of concrete through Cemex or our local mini mix, I was going through invoices and noted out of interest

Local mini mix is gerenerally 120 a metre on say 3m delivery c35
