Look for a company which can pump the concrete to your trenches. It's
the modern way and almost effortless.


Don't know, but I would have thought that was a little OTT? These things
pump at least a cubic metre a minute, so thats 8 minutes for the job.

Would they be interested in, what to them, must be a very small job?

I'd be interested to find out.

=========================
This is the blurb from the first entry in my local Yellow Pages:

.. Concrete Pumping Service . Covering The West Midlands . No Barrows.No
Mess.No Waste . Ready Mixed Concrete Suppliers . Floor Screed . Over 50
Years In The Midlands

It seems to be directed partly at least at the small user. In any case I
assume that the concrete is delivered in a conventional ready mix truck with
an added pump so 8 Cubic metres would be well within their minimum delivery
limits.

I suppose as usual the best thing is to ask - you might get a pleasant
surprise.
