Common Questions
Ready-mix concrete: the basics
How much is ready-mix concrete?
Ready-mix concrete prices vary by mix grade and volume, typical UK domestic mixes (GEN3, C20/25) sit around £100-£140 per m³, with higher-grade structural mixes priced higher. Use our concrete calculator to estimate volume, then get a live quote on the order page.
What is ready-mix concrete?
Ready-mix concrete is concrete batched at a plant to a specified mix design, cement, aggregates, water and admixtures combined in controlled proportions, then delivered fresh to site by mixer wagon. It saves the time and inconsistency of mixing on-site and gives you a known performance grade with paperwork to match.
How much concrete do I need?
Volume = length × width × depth in metres, plus around 10% for wastage and over-dig. Our concrete calculator does this for you and rounds to what we can deliver. For volumetric loads we round to the nearest 0.5m³; drum-mixer loads round to the nearest full cubic metre.
Where can I buy ready-mix concrete near me?
We deliver ready-mix concrete across the Midlands from plants in Coventry and surrounding areas. See our locations page for the full coverage map. 1m³ minimum, no small-load surcharge, next-day slots subject to availability.
How do I prepare for a concrete delivery?
Confirm the wagon access route the day before, minimum 3m width and 4m height for a standard 8-wheel wagon. Have your shutters / edge boards in place, the dig clean of debris, and at least two people ready with rakes and shovels at the discharge point. We discharge directly off the chute, or via pump if you've booked one.
What is the minimum concrete delivery?
1m³ on most domestic deliveries, with no small-load surcharge. Higher-grade structural mixes occasionally have a higher minimum, confirm when you book.
FAQ
Audience-specific questions
Can you help me work out volume?
Yes. Call us with the dimensions, or use our online calculator, it adds 10% wastage and rounds to what we can deliver. Our team can double-check your figures over the phone.
Do you take card payments?
Yes, card, BACS, or open a 30-day trade account. Trade accounts are subject to credit check, usually opened in 48 hours with references.
What mix for a single-storey extension?
Strip footings: C20/25 is fine for most domestic. Slab: C25/30 or C28/35. Your structural engineer or BCO should sign off the spec. Call us if you're unsure.
Can you deliver to a driveway with limited access?
Our standard 8-wheel wagons can reach most typical domestic drives. For very tight access or rear gardens we arrange a pump. Confirm access when you book.
What happens if the pour is delayed on site?
Call us ASAP, within plant hours we can usually hold the wagon or reschedule. Worst case the concrete goes back in the drum at a small holding fee. Better than losing it entirely.
Do you supply to new-build developments or just small jobs?
Both. We handle one-wagon extensions and 200-plot housing schemes. Larger jobs get dedicated scheduling from the commercial team, see our commercial page.
