@Big Jimbo why not find another piling company?
all companies will charge you mobilisation plant costs mine was about £1200
i had 29 piles to 8m for £12,000 I asked 2 companies for quotes and both said that the ringbeam was a loss maker as they took to long and made more money from just the piles.
I feel you. I'm the same. I pm you my piling contractor number, give him a bell. You might be a little bit far out for him but worth a try. He certainly will do as much or as little as you want and is Used working with difficult customers (me) Local piling companies always more value then the national ones.
Patrick, your neighbours are going to love you,
i think after dropping a tree on them and now waking them up your going straight down when your time comes. ????
