We have been awarded a grant to renew some concrete, just wondering what we should be paying a contractor roughly to supply and lay. There are a couple of drains also. Thanks

Someone in my area was charging £27.50/m2 (same as grant). Farmer had prepared base. That was a few months ago, concrete has probably crept up in price a bit since then.

We did some April/May. RC40 with structural fibres £101/cube, so concrete itself was costing about £18/m2. We poured it ourselves. So contractor was charging roughly £10/m2 to shutter and pour.
