Yup ordinary Portland cement. Prob pay 35 quid for a bulk bag and 4 for your cement.
Bulk bag from Wickes is coming out at £38, but they charge stupid price for delivery. There’s a small place near me that will probably charge a bit more, but free delivery.
20 bags of sand is, like you say, £1.25 each – so £25. But probably more from local place or have to pay for delivery.
Cement looks to be about £5.50 a bag.
It’s all starting to add up. I thought it would be a dead cheap job, but in total it’ll be way more than I thought (serves me right for not doing any research before I started, or budgeting).
2 bags hardcore @ ~£40 ea.
1 bag sand @ ~£40
cement ~£25
Slabs, 60 @ £2.08 ea. ~£125
Whacker plate hire for the hardcore ~£40
New builders’ shovel – £20
New Spirit level (might as well buy one) ~£20?
Gonna end up being about £350 all in….
boblo – yep. He’s a pain, but he is a gorgeous erm, cat….
