Concrete panels

Does anyone know of any good and reasonably priced suppliers of concrete panels in central Scotland area or further? 3rd time I’ve been let down now with being provided a quote and then when it comes down to actually paying for them they suddenly can’t honour the said price and it’s gone up by £x amount.

I was speaking to someone on the weekend about it and they said there is a company in Ireland that managed to deliver the panels to him (in Scotland) cheaper than a local concrete panel supplier… Albeit this was a few years ago but has anyone experienced the same? Couldn’t quite believe it

As Blue says. Low Grange local to me and good to deal with. Possibly not cheapest but spot on quality as with everything its the haulage that kills the job. Never seem to get many on a load but concrete isn't light.

I have always had good service and price from Solway precast, bit cheaper than Moores and Scottish.

Cumbria Concrete products or Mj Harrison (moore) will sort you out.

Cumbria concrete panels are good. And they were easy to deal with, a few years ago tho since I bought any from them. Just bought a Robinsons from Lockerbie shed and panels. They are fine aswell, not the biggest fan of the lifting eyes on there panels tho.

Another vote for low grange, although it helps when they are near enough to collect ourselves with tractor and trailer. Moore concrete have been good when I’ve bought slats and channels that low grange don’t make.

Our local shed man gets lots of panels from Low Grange, must be good as he doesn`t deal in shite

Moore`s service was impressive when we put the slatted shed up.

One size of slat width was 8mm shorter than the spec. Result we had a 300 m gap when we got to the end of the shed.
Not a problem when we rang them

Within 36 hours they had an artic here direct from n Ireland with 1 slat unit we could cut down to fill the gap..

When comparing panel prices remember to ask how much steel is in panel and compare like with like.
When we priced some a few years ago Moores were more expensive, until we discovered they had more steel than the others.

I had from Solway Precast in the summer, dealt direct and they made them and delivered when they said no bother. We are in NE Scotland so I was warned that they might have to wait till they could come up with something else (part load) but there was no issue.

Disappointed that the local Concrete guys in Aberdeenshire couldn't be bothered to supply what I wanted, Solway didn't have the size but happy to make if I could wait.

Has anyone had any recent prices for 4 inch panels.About to order 2 loads. Last I heard they were £36 sq meter hoping they’ve come down a bit. All 1.2 and 1.5 m high.
Thanks

How big an issue would water be when placing panels on top of a concrete floor? Can they ever be sealed well? Or should the floor be poured to them?

Correct way is to mount the panels 2 inch below finished floor level then pour the floor, letting the concrete under the panel and catching the outside by 3 or 4 inches . As the concrete cures and shrinks it provides a good tight seal.

We did our grain store like this, and never been any moisture at all come through. The plinth on outside of shed does slope away.

Put some panels around a livestock building (wasn't all so bothered about perfect waterproof). Concrete floor was already laid, so bedded wall panels down on mortar. Water gets under and through the mortar joint.

The only way to seal panels onto a floor is to lay the panels onto a bed of the sealant (polyurethane?) that comes with the panels.

Anyone know roughly what weight a 20ft x4ft x 6" concrete panel would be . Came across some secondhand and wondering would a tractor loader lift them . Also have a shed here with shuttered wall`s and would like to use the above panel`s to divide off a bay of it to hold grain . Shed is 40ft wide and has a center pillar. Whats the correct way to hold / secure the panel to the pillar on the shuttered wall . Can be clamped to center pillar and the pillar at the front of the bay . Anyone done similar or seen similar done . Tia
