Ready mix concrete: local mix?

Can you?

Mixamate?

Annoying when that happens, isn't it :-)

It was in the "Cost of skip hire" thread and the company mentioned was Mixamate (no personal experience of same).

Yes, that's an ideal size.

I have used a service (sorry no name) that used a sealed auger type mixer which arguably gives a more consistent mix that can be controlled in strength and metered down to a bucket, huge automated truck prob close to the 32T limit. Others have reported variability in the quality of open manual mixers so take care. I don't know which the Mixamate franchise uses.

It was 90quid a cube when I used it, many moons ago so expect it to be more than that, but I'd still expect it to be under 200quid for that quantity.

Excellent, thanks

Thanks for the warning. It's a ramp into a garage, the neighbour knows what he is doing and has done a decent prep with plenty of hardcore, so the mix quality is probably not *too* important. (It's replacing an inch of hand-mix on top of earth!).

But not available in Gloucestershire. Oh well.

There are other suppliers look for on-site mixer concrete suppliers

You can get some of the mix on site ones to barrow and lay as well if required (although with a drive there is a fair chance they can drop it directly where you need it anyway).
