Post and beam Posted September 16, 2024 Share Posted September 16, 2024 I need to get a minimum of 1000 litres of water to site this week for the blockwork to start. Can anyone please give me a ballpark figure for North hertfordshire so i have an idea if i am getting a fair price when i get quotes. Many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMo Posted September 16, 2024 Share Posted September 16, 2024 Ask them to supply, they just need an IBC, builders generally have then kicking about. If not look on Facebook Marketplace or gumtree, IBCs normal sell for about £50 to 100. Then fill yourself or again ask them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Post and beam Posted September 16, 2024 Author Share Posted September 16, 2024 The groundworkers brought a 1000 litre container with them 3 weeks ago. There is no water available on site and they have asked me to organise it. So i need to but some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oz07 Posted September 17, 2024 Share Posted September 17, 2024 Yes i have heard. Thing is with a newbuild you pay for building water as part of the connection anyway. Who's it hurting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Dibnah was on television several times filling his boiler from them and telling us it was illegal to do so. I wonder how many times he got fined? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post and beam Posted September 17, 2024 Author Share Posted September 17, 2024 1000 litres at £108 inc VAT. Sorted. Shame it would have cost £1.20 if i could have used my own tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
