Removal of concrete slab and path plus putting down a new concrete base


BigED

Recommended Posts

Hello


We need a couple of quotes for some basic demolition and concreting.


The job will involve:


- breaking up and removing a concrete path base (probably 9m x 0.5m)

- breaking up and removing an existing concrete base (for a concrete slab shed we are demolishing ourselves)- approx 2m x 2.5m (depth not known)

- skip hire for disposal of concrete

- laying a new concrete base in a new position, about 3.5m x 3m x 0.1m (10cm) deep


If you have had someone do something similar and were happy with their work, or you know of somebody good who does this sort of thing, please let me know.


I am putting in a separate post for laying an armoured cable to run electrics from the house to the back of the garden. It is a separate job requiring a qualified electrician, but it is part of the same project. If you (or someone you know) can do both then just let me know.


Thanks very much,


BigED

Thanks to all who have replied.


I have a few tradespeople who have put themselves forward. If anyone has had someone in to do similar work then I would be happy to hear their recommendations. Otherwise, I will work my way through the list, especially where I can see other recommendations for the tradespeople on EDF, checkatrade or similar forums.


(For info, the work would probably need to be carried out sometime in July).

    • As far as I am aware, the UK are not selling weapons to Russia and aren’t helping the Sudanese government to commit massacres. I also doubt that the Sudanese authorities claims that their army is “the most moral army in the world” and I also doubt that they are backed up by the majority of the Western world. This is why people are marching on Saturday, to reiterate that killing children is not ok and to show the world that they are not alone fighting against that evil fascist government, nothing more, nothing less. P.S: if you’re aware of any marches going on in London for the poor Sudanese people, I will gladly attend. 
    • So what do you want to see happen in the site ? The developer has to make money so increasing social housing may not be financially viable and we 100% need more accommodation locally.  Also the quote that it will be used by people as second homes is a bit strange, I would have suspected that would be the opposite as people might look to the countryside for a second home, not a semi run down town centre.
