Yes, we can! Base Concrete is a ready mix concrete supplier that delivers directly to Knebworth and all surrounding villages in North Hertfordshire. Whether you’re working on a new driveway, laying foundations near Knebworth House, or tackling a garden project in Old Knebworth, we’ve got you covered.
As a family-run business based in Hemel Hempstead since 2002, we’ve spent over two decades supplying ready mixed concrete throughout Hertfordshire. Knebworth sits comfortably within our delivery area.
Why Choose Our Ready Mix Concrete in Knebworth?
We use volumetric mixer lorries, which means your concrete is mixed fresh on-site rather than pre-mixed miles away. This gives you several advantages:
- Pay only for the amount of concrete you use – No guessing quantities or paying for excess
- Freshly mixed concrete – Made right at your property
- Adjustable mix – We can tailor the mix to your specific requirements
Our smaller lorries are particularly useful for Knebworth properties. Many homes have access routes that larger vehicles would struggle with, especially near the railway station and in older parts of the village.
Concrete Pumping for Difficult Access
Some construction sites in Knebworth present access challenges. That’s where our concrete pumping services become invaluable. Our line pumps can run pipes along the ground for up to 100 metres, going through gardens or along alleyways. For jobs needing to reach over walls, our 24-metre boom pump can extend to hard-to-reach spots.
