Concrete delivery questions

The site postcode, roughly how much concrete you need, what it’s for or the grade, the date and time window, and the access to the pour, including whether you need a pump. You can send it all through the enquiry form.

Multiply length by width by depth, all in metres, to get cubic metres. A 4 m by 3 m base at 100 mm deep needs 1.2 m³. The concrete calculator does the sums for slabs, strip foundations and post holes, in metric or imperial.

No. The concrete is mixed on site, so if you need a little more or less on the day, it can be mixed as you go and you pay for what’s poured.

C10 to C50, GEN1 to GEN3, ST1 to ST4, dedicated pump mixes and floor screeds, all from the same load.

Yes. The mix type, strength and slump can be changed during the pour, so foundations, a pump mix and a screed can come off the same truck on the same day.

It depends on the load and the conditions. The strength guide lists typical uses for each grade. For structural work, use the grade your engineer, architect or building control specifies.

CEM I 52.5N from Hanson or Heidelberg Materials, which is pure Portland cement rather than a cheaper blended CEM II. Aggregates are sourced within 20 miles.

Slump is a measure of how workable fresh concrete is, from stiff S1 mixes for kerbs to S5 for some pumped work. See mixes and slump.

We deliver from our depot on Havyatt Road, Langford, across South Bristol, North Somerset, Sedgemoor and the Mendips. See areas we cover.

Yes. We deliver early morning, late night and at weekends, as well as during the day. Out-of-hours slots depend on the date, so we confirm each one when you book. Night and weekend deliveries

Yes. We’ve supplied overnight and Sunday closures for kerbs and traffic islands. See the case studies.

Ask about concrete pumping. A pump carries the concrete from the truck to the pour, over walls and along tight routes.

Where the truck can park, how far it is to the pour and what’s in between, such as gates, steps, walls or buildings.

On one job in Burnham-on-Sea, the window was taken out so the chute would fit, and 1.5 m³ of C20 went in for a new subfloor in under 10 minutes. Read the case study

No. Because the concrete is mixed on site, there are no part-load charges or disposal fees. You pay for what you use.

The volume used is shown on the delivery ticket. On one job, 3 m³ was ordered and the ticket showed 2.96 m³ used.

No. Every job is quoted on its volume, mix, location and timing. Send your details for a free quote.
