If you can get a barrow through the house and there aren't more than a few steps (a scaffold board helps), 40 minutes per ton, plus 15 minutes for tea per ton will do it for an 80m barrow push. We don't stop, but you'll want to!
Once the materials are through and on a tarpaulin it is perfectly possible to mix and lay 3 tons on your own in a day. The problems come if you run out of materials, for instance if you've gone a bit too deep in places.

Sorry, wrong terminology, I meant concrete bought in a mixer and pumped through the house.
I do actually have a cement mixer now, it's just getting all the materials through to the back garden that's daunting (then finding the bods to help me lay it) although when I look again it's 'only' 3 tons rather than 5 I'd somehow worked out before. Not actually looked in to the price of pumping yet to be fair.
@ColinTheBald thanks! will do.
