I have to lay a couple of bases in the garden, one for a greenhouse and one for a summer house. I'm going to need about 2.5 cubic metres of concrete and rather than hiring a mixer and buying the ballast/cement etc was thinking of getting Mixamate round to pump it direct (it's 40 flat metres from the road to where I'm building, they say they can pump up to 80m ).
Anyone used them and can recommend ?

More expensive but easier and they only mix what you need so no waste

Never heard of that company but have used another ready mix company before. They arrived when they said they would. While the driver was pumping his oppo was levelling. Just leaving me into finish of the edges etc. Money well spent in my opinion.

Decent company ,we have used them a lot at work . You only pay for what you use . One company i wouldn't use is Cemex ,i'll just leave it there.
