Cubicles and concrete products

[RJ1]

Hello
I asked this on the buildings and infrastructure forum but thought I'd post it here too as a bit more active.

After some advice on cubicles and troughs etc

First, for a new shed (i.e. no concrete there at present), has anyone worked out the difference between poured concrete and precast beds for the cubciles?

Also, who would be competitive for cubicles and mats - nothing fancy needed - and large concrete troughs?

Based in Mid Wales.

Thanks

I put some in a couple of weeks back.

About £220ish per space all in. La de da mattress though.

The poured element was about £20 of that. No labour cost attributed to that though as I managed to do some work myself for once.

I've only ever used Craven for pre cast stuff as I suspect haulage is a thing.

Found Intershape very good value for their mattresses.

I second this, very impressed with my intershape mattress and although it’s thinner than the competition it’s definitely well priced, have to say IAE ultima cubicles have served me well for the last 10 years, did think about the plastic ones but breakages have put me off, have put a lot of thought into buying stuff that lasts, efficient farms hadn’t got time to be fixing things every day

Thank you.
I suspect there is no contest between a precast cubcile bed and one you pour yourself, particularly if mainly own labour. There is a tax advantage though and possibly flexibility if plans change.

our accountants class our cubicles as machinery and have never had a tax query on them yet .

Mine classes them as a repair most of the time [emoji23][emoji23]
