Laying concrete price

[diesel1]

I've a 17m x 8.5m (144.5sqm) shed base to lay with 6" of concrete and power float, the base is all prepared.
What sort of price should I be paying for a contractor to set shuttering up, pour concrete and power float per sqm, I'm paying for the concrete.

Had a quote last year £22/sqm iirc but that was for a big area and laser levelled, might be dearer for a smaller job?

Was that including the concrete?

No sorry cocked that up, the £22K was the total quote! not per sq m, that was £6.50 psqm.

Yes that's just laying,150mm thick, laser levelled, power float finish, curing agent and saw cut. Excellent firm btw, they have done our two best floors to date.

Do they definitely make sure the mesh is not on the bottom most of the laser guys seem to have little regard for the correct placement of the mesh , is that the guy from over cheadle way ?

was that just as one pour? Seems very competitive compared to what we pay for cubicle sheds
