CONCRETE PUMPING Hatfield
Two Types of Pump to Suit Your Project
Our Concrete Pumping Services
Concrete Line Pumps
Our line pumps are mounted on compact 7.5 tonne lorries, making them ideal for residential streets and tighter sites around Aylesbury. They work by running steel and rubber pipes along the ground, through houses, up alleyways, or even vertically when attached to scaffolding. Each pump can reach over 100 metres, so distance is rarely a problem.
Boom Pumps
For sites where you need to reach over obstacles, our boom pump is the answer. It features a crane arm that can be raised and extended to pour concrete over walls, into upper floors, or across hard-to-reach areas. This makes it perfect for larger builds and commercial projects throughout Aylesbury Vale.
The Right Strength for Every Job
Concrete Grades We Supply
All concrete pumped through our equipment is mixed fresh on-site using our volumetric lorries. This means you get exactly the grade you need, with no waste. Common grades we supply include:
Why Pumping Makes Sense for Your Project
Benefits of Concrete Pumping
Choosing concrete pumping over traditional wheelbarrow methods offers significant advantages for properties throughout Hatfield. Here is what you gain:
Overcome Access Restrictions
Many Hatfield properties present access challenges. The semi-detached homes across South Hatfield and Birchwood typically have narrow side returns. Period properties in Old Hatfield often have courtyard layouts. Our line pumps handle these situations effortlessly, running pipeline through passages as narrow as 600mm to reach rear gardens and confined pour areas.
Reduce Labour Requirements
Pumped concrete eliminates the physical effort of barrowing material from roadside to pour location. For larger domestic projects or commercial works, this translates to fewer workers needed and faster completion times. Your groundworkers can focus on placing and finishing concrete rather than transporting it.
Consistent Quality Throughout
When concrete travels through a pump pipeline, it maintains uniform consistency from start to finish. There is no risk of partially set material or separation that can occur when concrete sits in a drum during lengthy manual transfer. The result is a stronger, more reliable finished product.
Speed Up Project Timelines
A concrete pump delivers material far faster than manual methods allow. What might take a team hours to barrow can be pumped in minutes. This efficiency keeps your project on schedule and reduces the time your property is disrupted by construction work.

What Makes Us Different
Why Choose Base Concrete for Concrete Pumping in Hatfield ?
When selecting a concrete pumping supplier in Hatfield, you want a company that combines technical expertise with genuine local knowledge. Here is why customers throughout Welwyn Hatfield choose Base Concrete:
Experienced Local Team
Our operators have worked across Hatfield for years, understanding the access challenges that come with the town’s varied layout. From the planned estates of the New Town to the winding lanes of Lemsford, we know how to position equipment effectively and complete your pour efficiently.
Clean Site Guarantee
We take pride in leaving your property as we found it. Our pump operators use a compressed air ball system to clear the pipeline at the end of each pour, pushing remaining concrete into your formwork rather than creating mess. Any residual material fits in a couple of wheelbarrows, ensuring minimal clean-up.
Fresh Volumetric Concrete
Unlike suppliers using drum mixers, our volumetric lorries produce concrete on site. This means consistently fresh material with the exact specification your project demands. There is no rushing to use concrete before it sets in the drum, and no paying for surplus that goes to waste.
Flexible Equipment Options
We operate both line pumps and boom pumps to suit different project requirements. Line pumps work brilliantly for domestic jobs where pipelines need threading through restricted spaces. Our 24m boom pump handles larger commercial projects and situations requiring elevation, such as pouring first-floor slabs or reaching over boundary walls.
What size are your concrete pump lorries?
Our line pumps are mounted on 7.5 tonne chassis vehicles, roughly the same footprint as a standard skip lorry. This makes them suitable for most residential streets in Hatfield, including the narrower roads in areas like Birchwood and South Hatfield. The boom pump is larger and requires more setup space, so we will discuss site requirements when you enquire.
How far can the pipeline reach?
Each line pump carries 60 metres of pipeline as standard. For longer runs, we can bring additional sections to extend beyond 100 metres if needed. We are happy to conduct a site visit for projects requiring extensive pipeline layouts to confirm logistics before your pour date.
Do I need to prepare anything before you arrive?
Ensure clear access for our vehicles and have your formwork or shuttering ready to receive concrete. Remove any obstacles along the intended pipeline route. Our team will handle the rest, including positioning the pump and laying out the pipeline to reach your pour location.
Can you pump concrete for a basement conversion?
Absolutely. Basement conversions and below-ground works are well suited to concrete pumping. The pipeline directs material exactly where needed without the difficulty of carrying concrete down stairs or through restricted openings. We have completed numerous basement projects across Hertfordshire.
