Ready mix concrete company
New Mix Concrete is a well-established, Manchester-based ready mix concrete supplier with a depot in Cheetham Hill.
We supply volumetric ready mix concrete to local authorities, contractors, property developers and residential DIYers in our volumetric trucks.
What is volumetric ready mix concrete in Manchester?
Volumetric ready mix concrete is mixed on site in a concrete batching unit located inside the mixer truck. New Mix Concrete batching units are fitted with a digital meter which tells us how much concrete has been produced for each delivery. This means the customer only pays for the concrete they order.
Other benefits of volumetric ready mix concrete include:
- The concrete is freshly mixed when poured, enhancing its quality
- There is no waste, which is cost-effective and better for the environment
- The cost and inconvenience of short deliveries and extra orders is avoided
- Adjustments can be made to the concrete mix on the day, either in response to changing conditions or for use in different areas
- One truck can provide multiple pours to accommodate different small jobs in the same day, or to provide top ups.

Volumetric vs barrow mix: What’s the difference for Manchester projects?
Volumetric ready mix concrete is sometimes also referred to as barrow mix concrete. This is when the concrete supplier wheelbarrows the mixed concrete from the mixer chute to where it is needed on site.
New Mix Concrete provides this service at no additional cost. It is particularly advantageous for projects with limited access such as domestic driveways, sheds, garage bases and extensions. Other applications are commercial jobs where a pump isn’t required or the truck can’t get close enough to site for a direct pour from the chute.
