We are way over £90/cube round about here. The figures you guys are on about we have no chance of managing. :(:(:(

Neighbour was recently quoted £140/cube laid and finished for a cattle court. That's £50 for laying it, so at 4" its a £5/m2 or £7.50/m2 at 6".
I have no idea if that's good or bad, but said neighbour did the floor themselves in the end.

does that include the concrete?
yes, concrete is roughly half cost of laying. fibre mesh extra. this is a guy we sometimes use its a figure he uses for a job.
e.g. concreting a yard where the surface need planing off with digger a getting the levels right for water runoff.

Sounds good value to me - £120 a cube prepared and layed.

Are you sure you're right about concrete being half the cost of laying? Surely if the concrete is £75 a cube, it's the other way around. £45 a cube for laying.
