jacqui Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thanks Pierre and OgleflakesI do need concrete when I re read my post I would have advised self levelling ,we have a 4inch level going down to a 2 inch level to make up so definately concrete.Thanks for the posts guys, now I have to be brave enough to phone around and ask if they supply it!!!CheersJacqui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 The term you have been given is for "ready to mix" concrete, i.e 25 or 40kg bags to mix with water yourself.If you want Redimix i.e concrete delivered by lorry then that is not the term to use but I am sorry I dont have the correct term to hand, just ask for X m3 of beton livré.

avinalarf Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 We used Iribarren, Limoges. We ordered beton pret a l'emploi and Redimix duly turned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Bi-polar concrete that starts an argument with itself without any outside influence and then mediates itself to state of equilibrium.Also known as self levelling[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave&Olive Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 hi ok like the man said self leveling concrete , but as yet only perfected for footings and as a screed finnish , but things might have progressed ....... it should say invented in France not franc Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
