Concrete is usually priced per cubic metre (m³), with the final cost depending on the grade, the quantity, the supply method, the delivery postcode and any extras such as pumping. This guide explains the factors that affect the cost, so you know what information to send when you ask for a quote.

What affects the price of concrete?
Grade and mix
Higher-strength mixes contain more cement and cost more. Use the grade your engineer or building control has specified; for general domestic jobs we can advise which mix is commonly used.
Volume
Small loads usually cost more per m³ because the delivery cost is spread over less concrete. Minimum loads, part loads, vehicle sizes, charges and delivery times are confirmed when we quote your job – ring 01302 238340 or use the contact form.
Supply method
Ready mix is batched before delivery. Volumetric concrete is mixed on site, which can suit jobs where the final quantity is uncertain.
Access and distance
We supply from Finningley, DN9 3DU. Distance, access and time on site can affect cost. Minimum loads, part loads, vehicle sizes, charges and delivery times are confirmed when we quote your job – ring 01302 238340 or use the contact form.
Pumping
If the vehicle cannot reach the pour, a concrete pump adds cost but can save significant labour.
Timing
Minimum loads, part loads, vehicle sizes, charges and delivery times are confirmed when we quote your job – ring 01302 238340 or use the contact form.
Working out how much you need
Length × width × depth (in metres) gives the volume in m³. A 4 m × 3 m shed base at 100 mm deep is 4 × 3 × 0.1 = 1.2 m³. Our volume calculator adds a 10% allowance. See our guides for shed bases, driveways and extension footings.
