No that's not a problem,its more the case that anyone who has that info to hand has not read your post.
I will try to find out today, I am at a trade show today with two people who can advise on material cost etc.
I presume its a hand dig situation or is it a large enough area to get a mini excavator into? Can you loose the spoil in a hole in a field or is it all rubbish skips? Things like these will effect the costings.

Good heavens, no. It's just that many of us are reluctant to discuss something that we know so little about - because we never have any.lou said:Is it bad form to discuss money on this site maybe?
That's period properties for you. :wink:
I believe for materials a rough figure is twice the cost of concrete, but I could be way out.
Mike Wye has details and prices here: http://www.mikewye.co.uk/mikeprices.htm#limecrete though you will need to work it out.
Getting someone to install it for you is likely to be more expensive to the lack of people with expertise to do it.

lou said:OK - all extremely useful thanks. Didn't realise there are different colours too. Trip to Ty Mawr Lime on Saturday for further investigation - and, coincidentally, that's the name of our property too - means big house, which it isn't, but probably was once.
Ty Mawr lime developed this system, you are in good hands with them. You could even do it yourself or oversee some fit young men who can follow clear instructions whilst being monitored.
