I'd allow £90 for readymix, but might be cheaper for footings, I think you'd have to allow the £1 a block aswell, I haven't bought any for a couple of years.

Up here in soggy Cumbria, I am getting close to paying £100 per cube for concrete.
Blocks cost me approx 65P each when buying by the 1008 (8 wheeler wagon load carries 14 packs,each containing 72 blocks hence 1008 blocks) . I'll double check my latest block invoice when I get it in next day to two.

How do they do it for that :unsure: haulage must be most of the bill :scratchhead:

I've just had a load of 4"solids for 66p/block for a 8 wheeler load I think they came from Kendal way they're not white more a light brown/orange
Concrete round home is around the £85-90 mark
Cheapest concrete I found was in Leicestershire dearest in Kent
Surprisingly also not so bad at £79 near London just outside m25
