When undertaking concrete work, important time may be spent simply moving the concrete across the site to the right place. This is not only time consuming, but also costly in regards to labour. Whilst a wheelbarrow may be cheap to hire, the time spent funding contractors to move it isn’t cost effective for the purpose. This is where concrete pumping Aylesbury can save you such costs as well as valuable time. Through using our static line or screed pump, you’ll be able to receive your materials with speed and ease.
You may think that a pump may be of no use to you, as it will not reach your intended location due to difficult or limited access.

Anyone who has ever worked in the building trade knows that concrete is an indispensible material with a myriad of uses in the construction of driveways, forecourts, alleyways and garage floors. However, mixing and distributing concrete can be incredibly time consuming, and real hard work. Barrowing and transporting concrete causes problems because the material forms a dead weight and must be distributed within a time limit, before it begins to set. Here at Base Concrete, we offer reasonably priced ready mix concrete Dunstable and elsewhere which can cut down on labour costs and help builders meet deadlines.
Rather than mixing concrete by the barrowful on site, we can deliver concrete supplies of up to 4.3m3 with our mini mix vehicles. While our mixes are smaller than some concrete companies’, this allows us to handle smaller jobs that may be passed up by competitors. Regardless of the size of your plot, we can provide mixed concrete of various classes and strengths to suit.
Our smaller vehicles also means that we can deliver ready mixes to a site where access is restricted; a particularly useful service for our domestic customers. For larger industrial or commercial jobs, we can supply 6m3 and 8m3 lorry loads if required.
Ready mix concrete is especially useful in Britain given the unpredictable weather conditions to which the country is subjected. As mixing by hand or with a portable mixer takes more time, contractors could find themselves caught out by a shower of rain which affects the viscosity of the mix and makes concreting a nightmare.
Cheap ready mix concrete Dunstable from a specialist team like Base Concrete solves this problem, as the mix is delivered promptly and on time, and can usually be deposited straight into the intended plot, access willing. We understand that your ability to meet deadlines rests on us; we’re confident that one job is enough to prove our high standards of service.
