Anyone good with concrete

I need a concrete base laying for my new shed.
It needs to be approx 3mtrs x 4mtrs.

I know nowt about laying concrete etc but i need t get this metal shed up quick as my tools and parts are taking over the house.

So is anyone any good with this sort of thing and would be able to do it for me at a reasonable price?

Hire an electric mixer and do it yourself!

Its not too hard, just follow the mix guidlines and away you go! Its back breaking work and labour intensive so i imagine it'll cost a fair bit to get done!

if you were local to me i'd come over
and we'd get it sorted in a day easy.
easiest way would be get it dug out and
get ready mix delivered, good shuttering
and the right mix and it'll almost lay itself.

5 to 1 sand cement then you want some plasticiser in it so it glides then just lay a wooden frame and fill it with the concrete and screen it level.depending on what weight will go onto you will have to have a solid base be it hardcore or just solid ground whackere plated down. hey presto

my dad is a landscaper and does that kind of thing all the time im not sure how much he would charge you to do it tho.


or you could pay me and ill do it
