concrete floor replacement

[tiscali]

I want to get quotes to rip up and cart away my concrete kitchen floor and replace it with a new one with d.p.c. It's 4m x 3m. What sort of ball-park quotes should I expect? Thanks, Dave

Should be able to break that up in a day with a couple of people and a lad to carry the stuff away..and a skip..£400?

Laying a new one..£600?

Just did a similar floor in a kitchen that I was going to be fitting. I paid the people =A3500, there was =A3250 material inc dpm and kingspan insulation, and then the hire of the skip... which the client paid for as new people who worked for the company.

Alternatively spend a day with a jack hammer and a few trips with a trailer to your tip and save a few hundred pounds. Even if its layed at 100mm then its only just over a tonne to shift.

similar to what? That's the problem with snipping to oblivion.

It's mighty frothy concrete if 1.2 cubic metres of it weighs just over a tonne. Easy check - see if the first lump floats.

Try nearly 3 tonnes.

Yeah, and I'm sick of carting rubble. Just want the job done.
