Cheshire's Premier Supplier of Ready-Mix Concrete
Nick Brookes Group serves Cheshire, Wirral and the North West with ready-mix concrete for residential, commercial and industrial projects, delivering top-quality, efficient solutions for every construction need.
Every load is mixed fresh on-site by our volumetric concrete mixer fleet, so your concrete is never more than 7 seconds old on delivery. This guarantees optimal workability and strength, whatever your project.
If you’re searching for ready-mix concrete near you in Cheshire, Wirral or the North West, our local fleet keeps lead times short and lets us tailor every mix to your job, rather than pouring from a generic batch. We also cover Chester and the Welsh borders, with flexible options like Barrow mix and optional polypropylene fibres for added durability.
Because we mix on-site, we can make real-time adjustments to mix design and volume as the pour happens, cutting waste and making sure you only pay for what you actually need.
Concrete Quantity Estimator
At Nick Brookes, You only pay for the exact volume of Concrete we supply you with. This tool helps you calculate your concrete requirement. Select units for each dimension, then enter your measurements. The result is always given in cubic metres.
How Much Does Ready-Mix Concrete Cost?
The cost of ready-mix concrete depends on a few factors: the mix strength you need, any additives specified, how easy the site is to access, and whether a pump is required to place it.
Because we mix on-site with volumetric mixers, you’re never paying for a fixed load size, you only pay for the volume you actually use, calculated to the exact cubic metre.
What affects your concrete price per m3:
- Mix strength – higher-strength mixes for structural work and foundations cost more than standard mixes for sheds, bases and paths.
- Additives – accelerators, retarders, fibres, waterproofers and air-entrainment all affect the price per m3.
- Site access – straightforward access keeps costs down; restricted or difficult sites may need pump hire, which adds to the overall cost.
- Volume ordered – larger pours typically bring the price per m3 down.
- Delivery day – Saturday deliveries are available and may carry a different rate to weekday bookings.
Use the concrete quantity estimator above to work out your volume, then call us or make an enquiry for an accurate ready-mix concrete price based on your exact specification, no fixed-load waste, no guesswork.
Why Choose Nick Brookes for Concrete Delivery?
Volumetric Concrete, Mixed Fresh On-Site
Every delivery comes from our fleet of volumetric concrete mixers, blending your mix on-site rather than arriving pre-batched from a plant. That means your concrete is never more than 7 seconds old on delivery, ideal for foundations, driveways and structural applications, and every mix complies with British Standards and can be adjusted to your exact specification, even after the lorry arrives on site.
Specialised Mixes
We offer a range of specialised concrete mixes, including fibre-reinforced, rapid-setting and waterproof options, engineered to meet the unique demands of residential, commercial and industrial projects. If you need extra crack resistance or durability, our fibre-reinforced concrete is available as standard on request, see our Concrete Selection Service above for more detail on when it’s the right choice.
Concrete Pump Hire
Concrete pump hire is available for sites with limited access or elevated areas, using boom pumps and line pumps depending on distance and obstacles. The cost of concrete pump hire depends on the pump type needed and how far the concrete has to travel from the lorry, confirm your requirements at the time of booking and we’ll arrange the right kit alongside your delivery.
Concrete Delivery
Our modern fleet of volumetric mixers ensures precise, on-site concrete delivery across Cheshire, Wirral and the North West. Because we mix as we deliver, we can make real-time adjustments to mix design and volume during the pour, minimising waste and keeping cost down to exactly what you use.
Pre-Cast Concrete Products
We supply durable pre-cast interlocking concrete blocks and other products, ideal for retaining walls, storage bays and barriers. These products are manufactured to the highest standards to ensure longevity and reliability.
Site Preparation & Slab Foundations
Alongside concrete supply, we handle site preparation and groundworks, including excavation, levelling and sub-base installation, so your slab foundation is ready to take the pour. Get the groundwork right and the concrete foundations above it perform properly for the life of the build.
Expert Concrete Mix Selection
Choosing the right concrete mix matters as much as the pour itself.
Our team advises on mix selection based on load requirements, environmental exposure and the finish you want, so every delivery is fit for purpose from the start.
We run a full consultation covering site conditions, traffic load and exposure to chemicals or moisture, so every mix we recommend is built to withstand the specific demands of your project and avoid premature cracking or costly maintenance down the line.
Concrete Foundations
Foundations need concrete that can carry structural load without cracking or shifting over time. We match the mix design, typically higher-strength grades such as C28/35 or above, to your foundation’s specification, whether that’s a house extension, a raft foundation or a full structural build. Get this right at the mix stage and you avoid problems that are far more costly to fix once the concrete has set.
Fibre-Reinforced Concrete
For projects that need extra durability and crack resistance, we supply fibre-reinforced concrete as standard on request. Fibres are mixed through the load to control cracking and add strength, making it a popular choice for driveways, slabs and industrial floors that see heavy use. We also advise on waterproof concrete for basements and ground-bearing structures where moisture resistance is critical.
Beyond the mix itself, we advise on finishing techniques too, from polished surfaces to exposed aggregate, so the result looks right as well as performs well. Whatever you’re pouring, driveway, foundation or large-scale commercial build, we’ll help you specify a mix that’s built for the job.
Concrete Driveways
A concrete driveway needs to handle daily traffic, weather and time without cracking or wearing unevenly, and getting the mix right from the start matters more here than almost anywhere else on a domestic job.
We deliver ready-mix concrete for driveways of any size, mixed on-site to the exact strength and finish your project needs, with no fixed-load waste and no guesswork on volume.
Driveway Finishes
Alongside a standard poured finish, we advise on imprinted concrete driveway options, stamped patterns and exposed aggregate, so your driveway looks the part as well as performs. We’ll talk you through which finish suits your property and your budget before you book.
Concrete Driveway Cost
Concrete driveway cost depends on the area, depth and finish you choose, a plain poured driveway costs less than an imprinted or stamped finish, since decorative finishes take more time and skill to lay. Use the concrete quantity estimator above to work out your volume, then get in touch for a price based on your actual driveway, not a national average.

Ready-Mix Concrete Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver ready-mix concrete?
Yes – we deliver ready-mix concrete across Cheshire and the wider North West, mixed to the specification you need (strength, slump, additive requirements) and delivered directly to your site. Whether it’s a small domestic foundation, a driveway or a large-scale commercial pour, we match the mix to the application.
What concrete strength do I need?
For most domestic applications: C20/25 (sometimes called ‘gen 3’) for shed and garden bases, C25/30 for driveways and paths, C28/35 for structural foundations and house extensions. Stronger mixes (C32/40, C40/50) are used in commercial slabs, raft foundations and structural reinforced concrete. We’ll match the mix to the application and any building-regs or structural-engineer specification you have.
How much concrete do I need?
Calculate the volume of the area to be filled in cubic metres (length x width x depth). For example: a 3m x 4m driveway at 100mm depth = 1.2 cubic metres. Use the concrete quantity estimator above for an instant calculation, or give us the dimensions and we’ll work it out for you. We deliver from small loads upwards, it’s cheaper to estimate slightly over and have a small amount left than to run out mid-pour.
How much does concrete cost per m3?
Concrete price per m3 depends on mix strength, any additives specified, site access and how much you order. Because we mix on-site with volumetric mixers, you’re never paying for a fixed load, only the exact volume you use. See our full cost breakdown above, or use the estimator to work out your volume and get an accurate quote.
Do you offer concrete pump hire?
Concrete pump hire is available for sites the mixer can’t reach directly, back gardens, basements, second-floor extensions and restricted-access urban sites. Boom pumps and line pumps are both available depending on distance and obstacle. Confirm your pump requirements at the time of booking so we can schedule the right kit alongside your delivery.
Do you supply concrete for driveways?
Yes, we deliver ready-mix concrete for driveways of any size, including standard poured finishes and imprinted or stamped options. Concrete driveway cost depends on the area, depth and finish you choose, see our Concrete Driveways section above for the full detail, or get in touch for a quote based on your actual driveway.
How quickly do I need to use the concrete after delivery?
Ready-mix concrete should be placed within about 90 minutes of leaving the plant – sooner in hot weather. We schedule deliveries to match your site readiness so the team is in place, formwork is ready and the access is clear when the lorry arrives. Late or unprepared sites delay other jobs and risk the load setting in the drum.
Do you supply small loads for domestic jobs?
Yes – we deliver smaller loads (typically from 1 cubic metre) for domestic foundations, garage floors, shed bases and small driveways. There’s no need to over-order from a larger volume supplier. We work with both DIY householders and trade customers, with practical advice on volume, mix and placement on the phone before booking.
What additives can you include in the mix?
Common additives include accelerators (for cold-weather pours where you need rapid setting), retarders (for hot weather or large pours where you need extra working time), fibres (for crack control in slabs), waterproofers (for basement and ground-bearing structures), and air-entrainment for frost-resistance in external slabs and paving. Specify any additive at the time of booking.
Do you deliver concrete on weekends?
Saturday concrete deliveries are available on request up to our usual 1.30pm finish – useful for weekend domestic projects or where Saturday working fits the site programme. We are closed on Sundays and bank holidays. Talk to the team at the time of booking to secure a Saturday slot.
