Aye no wonder our concrete is cheaper. Funny that sand is a similar price though, around £25/ton.
I assume concrete products must be alot dearer ie pipe, kerbs etc?

Type one limestone here I have seen up to £30 a tonne, I think most firms round here use day aggregates type one eco blend don't know the price but know it's cheaper and still very nice to use

An 8 wheeler load of building sand here is £360.
Type one is about 150 a load, but that was earlier this year.

I guess I’m lucky, there’s 3 limestone quarries within about 2 miles of me. My mate is a lorry driver and has some in bays in his yard so can help myself for small bits here and there with the transit.

Travis Perkins warns of price rises amid shortage of raw materials
Industry-wide shortages mean the builders' merchant will charge more for cement, chipboard and paint.

Holy s**t that's cheap. Ours comes up by rail from the west country, then into tippers. When the rail line is blocked (which happens a lot) then there is none available.Delivered price from Derbyshire - ie the best limestone you can get

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
got stung 56 quid odd for a sheet of WBP faced 18mm ply this week ..... usually use WBP sheathing, GOS for trailer bottoms, but was told the GOS sheathing is no longer WBP and only 10 quid a sheet cheaper
........ that has over trebled in price in 4 years (last time I bought a sheet for the bottom of my 8 x 4 trailer was 14 quid ) and no longer waterproof ..... FFS

Out of interest who do you use Doobin? I'm paying a little more than that - not much mind but always keen to reduce costs when other elements are going through the roof!

Yeah that'll have an impact on agg prices for sure. As it stands now if you take haulage and agg tax off they are quarrying stone for a couple of quid a ton. £12.50 for type 1 here and £17.50 for clean stone (gravel/40mm etc) delivered.

That’s always been illegal, just not policed.
