    Can anyone recommend a company which will supply and pump 2 metre cubed worth of concrete to a residential address in north dublin. It's just a pathway around the side entrance, area is 18m sq, purpose is just for occasional foot traffic access / motorbike parking only.

    Getting prices of €250 for the concrete and €350 for pumping which seems very high. Anyone supply and pump 2 cubic metres cheaper (alot cheaper :pac: )

    Would a mixer wagon with a conveyor do the trick? Would be cheaper than a pump machine. Alternative is to wheelbarrow it in, 2 meters of concrete isn't too bad if you get a couple of others to help you?

    Yep best bet is a conveyor, a few wheelbarrow & 2 free mates.

    the two m3 of cement would be 40 wheelbarrows. Very manageable and for €250 delivered you should get a wait time of at least half hour with that.

    Hi, I got 12 cubes pumped up onto my first floor base yesterday morning for €1,200 Inc vat, I know I'm in South Kilkenny but that's €100 per cube pumped, I know I could get the concrete for €70 Inc vat per cube. This is probably not much help to you but you could at least quote the prices but not the area as I wouldn't think my man would drive up to Dublin.

    I agree.

    Thanks for the replies lads. Think I'll rope a few lads in and barrow it. €600 is too much to justify pumping.
