What’s Included in Our Mix On-Site Concrete Services?
Professional concrete mix on-site services are designed to make your life easier. From your first call, our team can help you get the right spec. When the truck arrives, the operator doesn’t just pour and leave. They’re there to mix your concrete 100% fresh, right in front of you. This means we can tweak the mix, provide multiple different mixes during the same delivery, and ensure you only pay for what you use. We also arrange concrete pump hire, making it a totally efficient and cost-effective process.
For over two decades, Custom Concrete has been the preferred local supplier for builders and renovators across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Hertfordshire. Why? Because we’re not just a supplier – we become your partner on the project. Our entire service, from our experienced operators to our office team, is built around one simple idea – making your job easier and ensuring you get the perfect result.
From First Call to Final Pour – What to Expect on Delivery Day
It all starts with getting your quantities right. We’ve replaced worries about ordering too much or too little with our Custom Concrete Calculator on our website. It’s a great tool which is designed to work out the volume and mix you need. And if you’re unsure, our customer service team is on hand to support you. They’re experts and will talk you through your project, from a simple slab to complex footings, to make sure you’re set.
Once booked, you’ll get a clear ETA. When our volumetric mixer arrives, our operator will confer with you as to where you need the pour, check the access, and get the truck positioned. They control the entire mixing process right there, producing 100% fresh, high-quality concrete, exactly when you’re ready for it.
Got a Hard-to-Reach Pour? Line Pumps vs. Boom Pumps
One of the biggest headaches for builders and renovators is site access. If your pour is a long way from the road, don’t worry. We provide the right concrete pump hire, so you can be sure that your fresh concrete reaches its final destination efficiently. Our team will advise you on the best fit:
- The Line Pump – This is for ground-level issues. A line pump uses a series of connected pipes and flexible hoses to pump concrete over long distances, around tight corners, or through a building. It’s a cost-effective solution for internal floors, garden patios, and footings where access is narrow but on the flat.
- The Boom Pump – When you need to clear obstacles or pour at height, you need a boom pump. Mounted on its own truck, its powerful hydraulic arm can unfold and reach up and over houses, trees, or other structures. It’s the perfect solution for upper-floor concrete, ICF (Insulated Concrete Formwork) walls, or any large pour that’s inaccessible from the ground.
How to Get Your On-Site Concrete Delivery Right – A Quick Checklist
To make the process even simpler, we’ve boiled it down to a five-step checklist. From your initial calculation to the final pour, here’s how to guarantee that your delivery from Custom Concrete goes off without a hitch.
1. Plan Your Volume & Mix
Use our Custom Concrete Calculator for a fast estimate, then call our team to confirm the mix design. We can help you get the spec exactly right for your footings, slab, or base.
2. Check Your Access
Take a moment to look at the pour access. Is it a long way from the kerb? Is it around the back or over a wall? Let our team know so we can include a line pump or boom pump if needed.
3. Meet Your Driver
On the day, our operator will arrive and have a quick site chat with you. They’ll confirm the plan, assess the access, and position the truck safely.
4. Get the Perfect Fresh Mix
Our operator mixes your concrete 100% fresh, right when you’re ready. Need a slight tweak to the slump or an adjustment to accommodate the weather? Just ask.
5. Pay Only for What You Use
You only ever pay for the concrete you actually use, so there’s no waste, no surplus, and no hidden charges.
FAQs about Concrete Mix On-Site Services
Here are our answers to some frequently asked questions. Our team has been helping people in Bedfordshire, Bucks, and Herts for over 20 years, so we’re always on hand to help if you need more details.
Multiple mixes is one of the biggest advantages of our volumetric mixers. If you need a drier, stronger mix for footings and a slightly more workable mix for a slab, we can do that. Our operator can mix your first batch, stop, and then mix a completely new, mix design for the next part of your job, all in one visit.
Our operators are a central part of the service, not just drivers. They are trained professionals who will work with you to get the truck positioned safely, manage the mix, control the flow rate, and can even tweak the slump (the wetness/stiffness) on the spot. They are there to ensure the pour goes smoothly and safely from our truck to your job.
Ideally, please give us at least 48 hours’ notice. This gives us plenty of time to coordinate the delivery and book in a concrete pump if you need one. We know that construction and weather can be unpredictable, so we will always try to fit you in at short notice if our schedule allows. Just give our team a call to check our availability.
