Concrete cost.

[Lawless]

It is very but better than drowning in our own lung fluid or worse spreading it about eh .

Absolutely.

For want of a nail the battle was lost

Trouble is when you want a fitting, you need it now because there is a burst and the cows are hollering

Hence keeping stock of vital items like this is surely only sensible if you have livestock?

We do tbh... but there is always something missing

@RWG Contracts can you throw any light on this thread. When you were doing big jobs could you get concrete at good discount?

C40 with fibres £95 a cube from Cemex. Got 140 cube booked for next week. Fingers crossed !

That would be £100 here in the golden corridor.

ha, and the rest! Why is our area the golden corridor then!?

Has the lockdown had much effect on concrete prices in the last few weeks? Many building sites are still working at the moment so presumably demand hasn't slipped too much and I've seen a few lorries about, just wondered what the latest was?

Was quoted 87 per cube for c35,
But all plants now closed

Saw concrete lorry’s from two different firms pass here on Friday so presumably some are/were still working then.

All shut here as far as I’m aware .

£85/m3 last week and promised the same again this week.
1 load, 8,5m3

For our parlour project our local readymix firm came out to look at what we were doing,. Estimated at circa 280 cubes plus 50 panels
The concrete came in at £82/m³. But more importantly to us was the fact that they allowed us to set up a standing order of £3k / month to pay for it. To us this was the real bonus.

 

[Mark C]

Only Cemex open around here. Hopefully they will keep open for a few more weeks as need another 240 cube

M40, few 1000 house developments ongoing, nobody much very local to compete with Smiths, so they dont need to try, etc.
Nearly put £105, but didn't think anyone would believe me!

I do, prices are getting savage! I was paying 95 and they were based a mike away

 

[Kidds]

Mine came from 10 mile away, didn't bother asking the firm a mile away.

Cemex 103 c35 two weeks ago Luton/Leighton Buzzard

 

[blue boy]

I found that with Cemex locally for years. Then had a big job so spoke to the local area manager and it turned reasonable.

I always find no matter what the commodity getting to talk to the local rep/ manager you always get a better price than talking to the office
