Benefits of Using Ready Mix Concrete

 

If you order your ready mix concrete from us, you will ensure you are getting the best price and will be delivered straight to the site. So right from your initial order, we will take all of the hard work away.

We prepare the concrete volumes on-site, making our ready mixed concrete a significantly more affordable solution. Furthermore, because you only pay for what you use, you don’t have to pay for large batch quantities or for any wastage.

During the on-site mixing process, we use a digital meter to show the amount of concrete being used, allowing you to use the exact amount you require, without any surplus or wastage at your site.

Our specialised concrete is of high quality, reasonably priced, and meets all specifications, large and small. The mixing process in our trucks eliminates air pockets that can weaken the concrete structure, which makes our ready mix concrete stronger and less resistant to cracking.

Our team of experts is dedicated to providing the best service possible, from the initial stages of planning quantities and preparation to the final stages of delivery and placement.

Whether you need concrete for a residential project or a large commercial development, we have the resources and expertise to meet your needs. Let us help you build a stronger foundation for your next project.

FAQs

how long does ready mix concrete remain workable?

Ready-mixed concrete, in general, should be used within 90 minutes to 2 hours of being mixed. After the concrete has set, it will continue to strengthen over time, but it may be prone to cracking or other damage if exposed to environmental variables such as freeze-thaw cycles, high heat or cold, or chemical or other material exposure.

How is the concrete delivered to the job site?

The concrete is delivered to the job site in one of our fleet concrete trucks, which are fully equipped with mobile batching units capable of producing barrow mix concrete on site.

What effect does temperature have on the quality of ready mix concrete?

High temperatures can help accelerate the setting of concrete, whereas low temperatures can slow it down. High temperatures can cause the concrete to crack or set unevenly in extreme cases, while low temperatures can cause it to freeze and become damaged. It is critical to maintain the proper temperature during placement and properly cure the concrete after placement to ensure the best possible quality concrete.

How environmentally friendly is ready mix concrete?

For several reasons, ready mix concrete can be considered environmentally friendly.  We prepare the concrete on site and then barrow to the exact location. This allows for more precise control over the amount of concrete used in a project.

We provide ready-mix concrete cost estimates for contractors, local governments, and commercial and domestic projects. To arrange a site visit, please call 0161 834 1312 or email sales@newmixconcrete.co.uk and we will be happy to assist.
