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
What's the minimum order you'll deliver?
1m³. We don't charge a small-load surcharge for 1-2m³ deliveries, which most ready-mix suppliers do.
How far in advance should I book?
Next-day delivery is often possible, subject to availability. Two or three days' notice is better in peak weeks so you can pick your time slot. Call 024 7636 1448 if you're tight for time and we'll see what we can do.
What mix for a concrete patio?
C28/35 at 100mm depth on a 100mm Type 1 MOT sub-base. For power-floated or stamped finishes, slow the slump to 50mm and add a bag mixer on site for retarder.

Yes. We co-ordinate the pump as part of the booking. Reaches up to 30m+ horizontally and can go over a house roof. Call for a pumped quote.
