Hi,

I'm looking to get 0.75 cubic metres of foundation concrete delivered in Dublin 15.

Can anyone recommend a small company to deliver this, its been years since i ordered concrete and the guys I used are out of business

thank you

Very few companies will bring such a small amout, a metre would be minimum. You would mix that amount yourself in a half hour.

sound, I just would not know the mix. its for foundation,
I have the steel mesh

I'd need to know the amount of gravel, sand and cement I'd need to mix, doing it is not issue at all I just don't know the ratios.

if you could help there I'd appreciate it. I'd actually prefer to mix it myself anyway

Edit saw this mix

(1 cement :1.5 sand

stone/brick aggregate)

Does that look right?

If so I need to convert it to bags/weight so i can order it

If you had a 3/4 ton of aggregiate, half a ton of sand and a bakers dozen of cement bags you should be grand.

I understand ready mix is handier , but I can mix it in my own time.

Whats wrong with washed gravel by the tonne bag, at a volume ratio of 8 gravel to 1 cement, with some plasticiser in the mix and rent an electric poker vibrator for working it?
To get the volume weight ratio just measure a tonne bag in the yard of some merchant.
If u want it stronger then go 7 to 1.

When its in place keep it wet for a few days

Understand. But I'm just thinking of the cost/time aspect too. All that material must cost close to the price of premixed. Plus you have to go to the hassle of collecting it.

got it done anyway. started at 830 finished by lunch, had to get another ten bags of gravel and three cement.
used one of those hand mixers lidl had last month, it helped, as did the two lads that helped
