20 Years of Bedfordshire Expertise, Powered by Modern Tech
When a contractor in Thurleigh needed garage slabs that wouldn’t crack under pressure, they called us. Custom Concrete is well known across the county; we’ve spent 20 years perfecting pours across Bedfordshire, and we brought our recently updated tech to this job.
Durable Garage Pours – Site-Mixed Precision in Thurleigh
Garage slabs need to handle weight without shifting. For this Thurleigh project, we provided a heavy-duty mix, batched precisely at the point of discharge. Our operator managed the entire pour from the back of the truck, adjusting the flow to match the groundworkers’ pace.
This isn’t ‘pre-mixed’ concrete that starts curing the moment it leaves the yard. This is volumetric concrete offering the advantage of being the freshest concrete you can choose because it’s mixed on-site, seconds before it hits the slab.
Eliminating Site Bottlenecks in Thurleigh
Residential sites in Thurleigh are rarely built for ease of heavy-vehicle access. As you can see from the image, we positioned our volumetric truck to optimise the reach of the chute without tearing up the prepared ground.
Traditional drum mixers put the site manager under pressure the moment the truck arrives. If the groundworkers aren’t ready to start work straight away, the concrete sits and can begin to cure. With volumetric concrete that’s not the case – we control the clock.
We started the mix only when the shutters were checked and the team was ready to move. This level of control guarantees that the finish is consistent across the entire garage slab, preventing cold joints or structural weak spots.
Why Our New Fleet Investment Matters for Your Build
We’re an established concrete supplier across Bedfordshire, and our latest fleet investment is the direct result of our decades of experience. These trucks aren’t just newer; they are more precise.
For this project, the internal batching computers allowed us to switch between a high-strength foundation mix and a finer finish grade without a second truck. We calibrated the flow to match the exact temperature and humidity conditions in Thurleigh that morning. This eliminates the ‘hit or miss’ nature of pre-mixed deliveries.
When you see the Custom Concrete logo on-site, it represents a commitment to providing the exact spec required for a structural garage slab, mixed fresh on the spot.
