The story of New Mix Concrete

 

Why choose New Mix Concrete’s barrow mix?

Barrow mix from New Mix Concrete is ideal for small projects and renovations that require less concrete than large build projects. Our barrow mix concrete is produced on site in a mobile concrete batching unit. The concrete is then quickly transferred to wherever it is needed in wheelbarrows.

Getting the concrete inside a building, or to a garden or other small site with limited access is hassle-free using wheelbarrows. The alternative is to use a rotating cylinder concrete truck, but this is more appropriate for larger build projects due to customers having to pay for full loads or for material that hasn’t been used or carried.

 

What is ready mix concrete?

Both barrow mix and the large volume of concrete mixed in a rotating cylinder truck are ready mix concretes, but in the construction sector ready mix concrete suppliers tend to be associated with producing concrete in rotation trucks. New Mix Concrete are also, however, ready mix concrete suppliers, even though we don’t use cylinder trucks.

Efficiency, convenience and affordability of barrow mix

Smaller projects obviously don’t use the same of volume of concrete as large builds, so why pay for more than you use? This is where our mobile concrete batching units provide the benefits of efficiency, convenience and affordability. A digital meter shows the amount of barrow mix concrete being produced to avoid creating a surplus, so there is no wastage. This means you only pay for what you use which makes New Mix Concrete’s barrow mix affordable and convenient.

 

New Mix Concrete’s helpful information and guides for ordering and installing concrete

Having served customers for four decades we know what information they need and how to make the process of ordering concrete easier.

We devised our precise online concrete calculator to tell you the amount of concrete you need which will save you over-ordering and having to remove waste. By entering the length, width and depth of your project area you will be told the volume of concrete you need.

Our useful and easy to follow installation guides provide basic information on sub base preparation and compaction, site access, laying concrete, concrete finishes and concrete curing. We want to ensure we do everything possible to help you take the necessary steps to benefit from beautifully laid and cured concrete.  

 

A unique history in concrete trucks

Over our forty years of trading we have continually upgraded and modified the design of our concrete trucks to improve the convenience and responsiveness of our services to our customers. We still have a soft spot, however, for some of our older trucks, with one truck registered in 1993 only recently being retired. Take a look at some of our impressive trucks, both young and old!
