Ready Mix Concrete Stevenage
Base Concrete brings reliable, high quality ready mix concrete to Stevenage and the surrounding North Hertfordshire region. Since opening our doors in 2002, our family business has supplied thousands of successful projects, earning a reputation for honest pricing, punctual delivery and concrete that does exactly what it should. We serve customers across Stevenage, Hitchin, Letchworth, Knebworth, Welwyn and the neighbouring towns and villages.
What sets us apart is our use of volumetric mixer lorries. These purpose-built vehicles store all the concrete ingredients in separate hoppers and mix them fresh at your property. The moment concrete leaves the mixer, it is at peak quality, ready to pour and destined to cure to its full strength. This method also means you only pay for the volume actually dispensed, with nothing left over to waste or dispose of.
Our approachable team is here to help you plan your order, working through your measurements to ensure you get the right amount first time. Customers regularly tell us how impressed they are that we leave their sites spotless, a courtesy we consider standard practice.

The Advantages of Fresh Mixing for Stevenage Customers
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Choosing volumetric delivery from Base Concrete delivers tangible benefits that traditional concrete supply cannot replicate.
No Wasted Material, No Wasted Money
Conventional deliveries often leave you with surplus concrete you have already paid for. Our on-site mixing stops the moment your pour is complete, so every cubic metre you pay for goes into your project.
Concrete in Prime Condition
From the instant concrete is mixed, its workability begins to decline. By producing it fresh in Stevenage rather than miles away at a batching plant, we hand you a product that flows easily and sets to maximum strength.
One Solution for Every Scale
Our volumetric lorries handle anything from a partial cubic metre for a fence post repair to full-scale commercial pours requiring multiple loads. Project size never limits your options.
Specification Changes on Demand
Some jobs call for different mixes in different areas. Our operators can adjust cement content, aggregate size and additives between pours without returning to base or scheduling a second delivery.

Experienced, Accredited and Committed to Service
Why Choose Base Concrete in Stevenage?
Partnering with Base Concrete for your Stevenage project means gaining a supplier who genuinely invests in your success.
Two Decades of Know-How
Since 2002, we have tackled projects of every description. That experience shows in the advice we offer and the efficiency with which we operate on site.
Independently Verified Quality
Our concrete conforms to British Standard BS8500-2 and originates from QSRMC accredited production. Regular cube testing at independent laboratories confirms compressive strength, giving you documented assurance.
Courteous, Careful Crews
Concrete delivery can be messy if handled carelessly. Our drivers and pump operators treat your property with respect, protecting surfaces and clearing away any spillage before they leave.
Fleet Ready for Any Access
Stevenage includes everything from new-build estates with generous access to older properties down tighter roads. We operate a range of vehicle sizes, including mini mix lorries no bigger than a standard skip truck, ensuring we can reach you.
How should I work out the quantity of concrete required?
Calculate the volume in cubic metres: length multiplied by width multiplied by depth, all measured in metres. For instance, a 5m by 4m patio at 100mm deep needs 2 cubic metres. Our team will happily verify your figures when you get in touch.
How long after pouring before the concrete is usable?
Light foot traffic is typically safe within 24 to 48 hours under normal conditions. Vehicles should stay clear for at least a week. Concrete continues to harden and reaches design strength around 28 days after pouring.
What distinguishes concrete from cement?
Cement is a powdered ingredient that binds other materials together. Concrete is the composite product formed when cement is mixed with water, sand and aggregate. Though people often swap the terms, they are not the same thing.
Do you accept small orders in Stevenage?
Yes. Volumetric mixing is ideally suited to modest quantities because we produce only what you pour. There is no penalty for ordering less than a full load, and you will never be pushed to take more than you need.
What is your usual lead time for Stevenage deliveries?
Stevenage falls comfortably within our regular delivery area. Depending on schedule, we can often accommodate short-notice requests, though booking ahead secures your preferred date and time, especially for bigger jobs.
