Ready Mix Concrete Tongwell
Base Concrete delivers outstanding ready mix concrete across Amersham and the picturesque Chiltern Hills. Our family company has been trading since 2002, cultivating a strong reputation among homeowners, builders and developers who value punctual service and concrete that consistently meets the highest standards. We serve customers throughout Amersham, Amersham Old Town, Chesham, Little Chalfont, Great Missenden, Holmer Green, Penn and surrounding villages.
Our deliveries use volumetric mixer lorries, a sophisticated approach that transforms how concrete reaches your site. Rather than pre-mixed material losing workability during transit, our vehicles store cement, aggregates and water separately and combine them fresh at your property immediately before pouring. This guarantees concrete at its optimum condition, destined to cure to its full specified strength. You also pay only for concrete that is actually used, with no surplus and no unnecessary charges.
Speak to our personable team about your project requirements. We will assist with calculating quantities, walk you through the process and ensure everything is prepared for a seamless pour. Amersham customers consistently compliment us on leaving their properties pristine once the work is finished.
We use volumetric mixers for all our commercial concrete deliveries. This means we mix your concrete fresh on site, so you only pay for what you use. There is no waste, no waiting for set delivery times, and no worries about concrete going off in transit.

Finding the Right Mix for Your Job
Concrete Grades We Supply
Our volumetric mixers can produce any concrete grade on site to match your project requirements. Here are the most common commercial mixes we supply:
Why Fresh On-Site Mixing Serves Tongwell Customers Better
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Opting for volumetric delivery from Base Concrete brings genuine advantages that traditional supply methods struggle to match.
Pay Strictly for Concrete Poured
Conventional drum deliveries charge for the entire load regardless of actual consumption. Our volumetric mixers produce concrete on demand, stopping when your formwork is full. Every pound you spend goes towards concrete in your project.
Freshness Ensures Strength
Concrete begins losing workability the instant it is mixed. By producing it at your Tongwell site rather than at a distant batching plant, we deliver a product that flows smoothly, compacts effectively and achieves its designed compressive strength.
Scales to Any Project Requirement
Our lorries handle anything from a fraction of a cubic metre for a modest domestic repair to continuous loads for a substantial commercial pour. No project is too minor and no scheme too ambitious.
Modify the Mix Seamlessly
When different sections of your project call for different concrete grades, our operators adjust the recipe between pours without returning to base or scheduling additional deliveries.

A Family Supplier Committed to Excellence
Why Choose Base Concrete in Tongwell?
Choosing Base Concrete for your Tongwell project means partnering with a company that genuinely cares about quality and customer satisfaction.
Family Business Principles
We are a family-run company where customers receive personal attention. Our team listens to your requirements and provides honest advice informed by more than two decades of hands-on experience.
Quality Assured to British Standards
All our concrete conforms to British Standard BS8500-2 and originates from QSRMC accredited sources. Regular cube testing at independent laboratories verifies compressive strength, giving you documented assurance that the product meets specification.
Professional Crews, Spotless Sites
Our drivers and pump operators recognise they are guests on your property. They protect driveways and surfaces, contain spillages and leave sites immaculate. Tongwell customers frequently highlight this attention to detail in their reviews.
Fleet Suited to Grid Roads and Residential Streets
Tongwell combines Milton Keynes grid road accessibility with quieter residential streets and cul-de-sacs. Our fleet includes mini mix lorries, no bigger than a typical skip truck, that navigate varied layouts comfortably, reaching sites that larger vehicles cannot access.
How do I calculate the concrete volume my project requires?
Multiply length by width by depth, with all measurements in metres, to get the volume in cubic metres. A patio base of 4m by 4m at 100mm (0.1m) deep requires 1.6 cubic metres. Our team will gladly verify your figures before you confirm an order.
When can I walk or drive on freshly poured concrete?
Light foot traffic is typically safe after 24 to 48 hours under normal conditions. Vehicles should stay off driveways for at least seven days to avoid surface damage. Concrete reaches full design strength at approximately 28 days, so patience during curing improves long-term durability.
Is cement the same thing as concrete?
No. Cement is a powdered binding ingredient. Concrete is the composite material created when cement is combined with water, sand and aggregates such as gravel or crushed stone. Although the terms are often confused, they describe different products.
Can I order a small quantity for a minor job in Tongwell?
Certainly. Volumetric mixing suits smaller orders perfectly because we produce only what you pour. There is no minimum load charge, and you will never be encouraged to order more than your project needs.
How quickly can you deliver to Tongwell?
Tongwell is accessible from our Hemel Hempstead base via the M1. Subject to availability, we can often arrange delivery at short notice, including same-day service for urgent requirements. For larger projects or specific time slots, booking ahead secures your preferred date.
