Skip hire is £138 for 6yards, £160 for 8 yards - Sutton, South London,
probably similar to Guildford.

Have you thaught about tidying up the existing concrete by covering it with
something - see my other posting "Driveway" ?

Our (shared) driveway is looking quite tatty, with holes in the concrete
exposing hollows below etc. Its been patched as well (possibly for a new
gas/electricity supply in the past) and just looks poor.

I'm loathed to pay anyone to do work which I think I can do myself -
(famous
last words!). So - does anyone have any idea (very rough would be useful)
the sort of cost I would expect to rip up the old concrete, dispose of it,
and relay (bearing in mind its a driveway which is about 2 cars (Pug 306!)
width wide, and possibly 3 to 3.5 cars long).

Things I can think of (but no idea of cost) would be:

Small digger hire (I'm not going to break my back as well as the
concrete!)
Skip (or however many skips I'd need)
Concrete to lay (is it realistic mixing it myself for this sort of size -
getting it pre-mixed would be easiest).

Looking at that, it sounds a nice and easy job! Is it actually straight
forward - or is there more to it than that. Obviously it'll be hard
work -
but as long as its not complex - I think it should be okay.

Also - any ideas what sort of cost I may expect to get someone in to do
it?
Bearing in mind its a shared driveway, it may not be that expensive to do
it
between the two of us. We're in Guildford, Surrey - a costly county!

Thanks
