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 × width × depth). For example: a 3m × 4m driveway at 100mm depth = 1.2 cubic metres. 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 – give us the dimensions and we’ll work it out.
Can you supply concrete with a pump?
Yes – for sites where the mixer can’t reach directly (back gardens, basements, second-floor extensions, restricted-access urban sites), we can arrange concrete pumping in line with delivery. Boom pumps and line pumps are both available depending on the distance and obstacle. Confirm pump requirements at the time of booking so we can schedule the kit.
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.
