Ready Mix Concrete Rickmansworth
Base Concrete is the trusted choice for ready mix concrete across Rickmansworth and the picturesque Three Rivers district. Since 2002, our family-run company has been serving homeowners, builders and contractors with concrete that performs reliably, delivered by a team that genuinely cares about getting your job done right. We cover Rickmansworth, Chorleywood, Croxley Green, Sarratt, Chandler’s Cross, Loudwater and the surrounding villages.
Our deliveries are made using volumetric mixer lorries, a modern approach that transforms how concrete reaches your site. Instead of transporting pre-mixed concrete that gradually loses workability during transit, our vehicles carry the raw materials separately and blend them fresh at your property. The result is concrete that pours beautifully and cures to its maximum potential strength. Because we mix on demand, you only pay for the concrete that actually enters your formwork, with nothing wasted.
Call our friendly team to discuss your project and we will help you work out exactly how much concrete you need. Customers across Rickmansworth regularly tell us how much they appreciate that we leave their properties spotless once the pour is complete.

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:
The Advantages Fresh Mixing Brings to Rickmansworth Projects
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Volumetric concrete delivery from Base Concrete offers genuine benefits over older methods of supply.
Pay Purely for What You Pour
Conventional drum deliveries charge for the full load even if you use only half. Our volumetric mixers produce concrete as it is needed and stop when your pour is complete, so you are invoiced only for what goes into your project.
Peak Freshness, Peak Strength
Concrete begins to stiffen from the moment it is mixed. By blending it on-site in Rickmansworth rather than miles away, we hand you a product at its most workable, which then cures to its full specified strength.
Suited to Jobs of Any Size
Our equipment handles everything from a modest pour for a single fence post to multiple loads for a large commercial slab. No job is too small and no project too substantial.
Switch Specifications Instantly
When your project requires different concrete grades for different elements, our operators adjust the mix between pours. There is no need to book a second delivery or wait for another lorry.

A Nearby Supplier Committed to Quality and Care
Why Choose Base Concrete in Rickmansworth?
Choosing Base Concrete for your Rickmansworth project means partnering with a supplier focused on your success.
Authentically Local
Based in Hemel Hempstead, we are just a short journey from Rickmansworth and have detailed knowledge of the area. We understand the character of Chess Valley properties, the access limitations some sites present and the standards Rickmansworth residents expect.
Accredited Quality Control
Every mix we supply conforms to British Standard BS8500-2 and is sourced from QSRMC accredited production. Independent laboratory testing confirms compressive strength, providing documented reassurance that your concrete meets specification.
Considerate, Careful Crews
Our drivers and pump operators appreciate that they are working on your property. They protect driveways, contain any spillage and leave your site tidy. This attention to detail is something Rickmansworth customers frequently highlight in their feedback.
Compact Lorries for Country Lanes
The roads around Rickmansworth include narrow lanes, tight bends and properties down private drives. Our mini mix lorries, similar in size to a skip truck, navigate these challenges comfortably, reaching sites that larger vehicles cannot access.
How do I calculate the amount of concrete I need?
Measure the length, width and depth of your pour area in metres, then multiply them together to get the volume in cubic metres. A base measuring 5m by 2m at 150mm (0.15m) deep, for instance, requires 1.5 cubic metres. We are happy to check your calculation before confirming your order.
How soon can I use newly poured concrete?
Under normal conditions, light foot traffic is safe after 24 to 48 hours. Vehicles should stay off driveways for a minimum of seven days. Concrete reaches its full design strength at around 28 days, so the longer you can allow for curing, the more durable the finish.
What is the difference between cement and concrete?
Cement is a powdered binding agent used to make concrete. Concrete itself is the composite material created when cement is mixed with water, sand and aggregates such as gravel or crushed stone. Although the terms are often used interchangeably, they describe different things.
Do you deliver small quantities to Rickmansworth?
Yes. Volumetric mixing is ideal for smaller orders because we produce only what you need. There is no minimum load penalty, and you will never be pushed to order more than your project requires.
How quickly can you deliver to Rickmansworth?
Rickmansworth is close to our Hemel Hempstead depot, allowing us to respond promptly. Subject to our schedule, we can often arrange delivery at short notice. For larger projects or specific time slots, we recommend booking ahead to secure your preferred date.
