Ampthill Concrete Pour - FAQs
With over two decades of local experience in Bedfordshire, the Custom Concrete team provides clients with the technical info you need for your pour. Below are questions we’re asked regularly by Ampthill clients preparing for a concrete delivery.
We need a firm, level surface and a clear access route. Our 8-wheel volumetric mixers are 10 metres long and 2.5 metres wide. If your site is tucked away in a narrow Ampthill lane or behind a residential property, we would recommend booking our concrete pump hire to make access easier and keep your site clean.
Yes. This is a big advantage of mix on-site concrete. If you need to tweak your concrete mix due to the weather conditions, or you need multiple mixes for different jobs, we can recalibrate the mix onsite. You’ll never be stuck with a pre-batched load that doesn’t fit your needs.
Our concrete set quickly but takes longer to fully cure. We advise waiting at least 24 to 48 hours for foot traffic and 7 days for heavy structural loads. Achieving full design strength takes 28 days.
Yes. And we don’t impose “minimum order” penalties. Whether you are setting fence posts in a garden or pouring a shed base, our volumetric trucks act as a mobile batching plant on your doorstep. You get the same high-specification concrete as a major commercial site, but in the exact small quantity you need.
A light drizzle won’t stop the pour, but heavy rain can affect the water-to-cement ratio. Our operators can adjust the mix consistency to compensate for weather conditions. This means that your patio or extension remains structurally sound despite the rain. For more guidance on this issue, take a look at our guide: Can You Mix Concrete In The Rain?
As a local Bedfordshire supplier, we pride ourselves on a prompt response. We offer flexible delivery windows and can often accommodate short-notice requests. We would, however, always advise you to contact us at least 2 or 3 days before the delivery to be sure of the slot you want.
Because our fleet is based nearby, we know the local roads well and keep a close eye on the traffic to be sure we arrive exactly when your team is ready to pour.
