Finding the right mix for your job
Concrete Grades Keynes We Supply in Milton
Our volumetric mixers batch any grade on site, so you are not tied to whatever was loaded at a plant that morning. These are the mixes we supply most often around MK.
Planning the day
Getting a Mixer Into a Milton Keynes Street
Milton Keynes is easier to drive across than almost any town of its size and harder than most to park a lorry in once you are off the grid road. Here is what we look at before we book.
- The lorry stays for the whole pour. Because we mix on site, the mixer parks up and works. It is not a drop and go. We need a firm, reasonably level spot close enough to reach the pour with the chute.
-
Chute reach is about metres. If the pour is further than that, we either barrow it or bring a concrete pump. Back gardens on the older Bletchley and Wolverton terraces almost always need a pump.
-
Cul-de-sacs and courtyard parking. A lot of MK grid squares are built around courts with narrow entrances and residents' parking on both sides. Our mini mix lorries are roughly the size of a skip truck and get into places the full size mixer cannot. Tell us the street and we will tell you which lorry is coming.
-
Redways and verges. Where a redway or a grass verge sits between the road and the property, we cover and protect it rather than track across it. If the pour needs the lorry on the public highway or a redway closed, Milton Keynes City Council issue the relevant permit and that needs arranging in advance, so give us as much notice as you can.
- New build estates. On Whitehouse, Fairfields, Brooklands and the other expansion areas, some roads are still unadopted and site traffic can be heavy. Send us a postcode and we will check it.

Why on-site mixing works better in MK
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Opting for volumetric delivery from Base Concrete brings genuine advantages that conventional supply methods cannot replicate.
You pay for what you pour
A drum delivery is invoiced for the whole load whether you use it or not. Our mixers batch as the concrete comes out and stop when your formwork is full. Nothing is wasted and there is nothing left over to get rid of.
Fresh concrete, full strength
Concrete starts stiffening the moment it is mixed. Batching it on your drive in Milton Keynes rather than at a plant miles away means it flows properly, compacts properly and reaches the strength it was designed for.
Any size of load
From half a cubic metre for a shed base to a continuous supply for a commercial slab. There is no minimum order penalty.
Change the mix mid-pour
If the foundations need one grade and the slab needs another, the operator adjusts the mix between pours. No second lorry, no second delivery charge, no second day.

A family supplier, not a call centre
Why Choose Base Concrete in Milton Keynes?
Choosing Base Concrete for your Milton Keynes project means partnering with a company that genuinely cares about every delivery.
Family run since 2002
The same family has run this business for over twenty years. You get someone who knows concrete on the phone, not a scripted order taker.
Quality you can evidence
Every mix meets BS8500-2 and comes from QSRMC accredited sources. We cube test at independent laboratories, so if your building inspector or engineer asks for compressive strength results, you have them.
Drivers who respect the property
Our operators treat a driveway as somebody’s driveway. They sheet up, contain spillages and sweep before they leave. It is the thing our customers mention most often in reviews.
The right lorry for the street
Full size volumetric mixers, mini mix lorries for tight access, line and boom pumps where the lorry cannot get close enough, and floor screed when you need it.
How much does concrete cost per cubic metre in Milton Keynes?
Because we mix on site you are only charged for what you actually pour, so a job that comes in under the estimate costs less than the quote rather than the same. Call 01442 389105 for a firm figure.
Do you deliver concrete across all of Milton Keynes?
Yes. We cover MK1 to MK15 across the grid, plus Newport Pagnell, Woburn Sands, Stony Stratford, Hanslope and the surrounding villages. If you are unsure, give us your postcode and we will confirm on the phone.
Can you get a mixer down a cul-de-sac or into a courtyard?
Usually yes. A lot of Milton Keynes grid squares are built around courts with narrow entrances and parking on both sides, so we run mini mix lorries that are about the size of a skip truck for those streets. Tell us the road name when you book and we will send the right vehicle.
Can you pump concrete into a back garden?
Yes. Where the lorry cannot park close enough to reach with the chute, which is common on the older Bletchley and Wolverton terraces, we bring a line pump or a boom pump. Mention it when you call so we can price it in.
How much notice do you need for a Milton Keynes delivery?
We can often do shorter notice depending on the day. Early morning slots and anything needing a pump or a highway permit should be booked further ahead.
How much concrete do I need?
Multiply length by width by depth in metres. A driveway 8m by 3m at 100mm deep is 2.4 cubic metres. Our concrete calculator does the sum for you, and we will sanity check your figures on the phone before you order. Order slightly over rather than under, because you only pay for what you pour.
Which grade of concrete do I need for a driveway?
When can I walk or drive on it?
Foot traffic is normally fine after 24 to 48 hours. Keep vehicles off a new driveway for at least seven days. Full design strength is reached at around 28 days, and in cold weather it takes longer, so cover it if a frost is forecast.
Do you supply small loads for DIY jobs?
Yes, and there is no penalty for it. A shed base or a fence post run is a perfectly normal order for us because we only mix what you pour.
