Ready Mix Concrete Princes Risborough
Base Concrete proudly serves Princes Risborough and the stunning Chiltern Hills with premium ready mix concrete. Our family business opened in 2002, and over the past two decades we have earned the trust of homeowners, farmers, builders and developers throughout this beautiful part of Buckinghamshire. We deliver to Princes Risborough, Longwick, Monks Risborough, Lacey Green, Bledlow, Great Kimble, Little Kimble and villages across the surrounding countryside.
Every delivery we make arrives in a volumetric mixer lorry. These innovative vehicles keep cement, aggregates and water in separate compartments until they reach your property, where they blend the concrete fresh before your eyes. This guarantees you receive a product at its most workable, ready to pour and destined to cure to maximum strength. It also means you only pay for concrete that is actually used, eliminating waste and unnecessary expense.
Get in touch with our approachable team to talk through your project. We will help you calculate quantities and answer any questions. Customers throughout Princes Risborough comment on how clean and tidy we leave their properties, a hallmark of the service we deliver.

Why On-Site Mixing Makes Sense for Princes Risborough Customers
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Choosing volumetric delivery from Base Concrete brings meaningful advantages over traditional concrete supply.
Invoice Only What You Use
Standard drum deliveries charge for the entire load whether you need it all or not. Our volumetric mixers produce concrete on demand, stopping when your formwork is full. Every pound you spend goes into concrete that serves your project.
Freshness You Can See and Feel
Concrete loses workability from the moment it is mixed. By producing it fresh in Princes Risborough rather than at a distant plant, we provide a product that flows smoothly, compacts easily and achieves its intended strength.
Scalable to Your Needs
Our lorries can dispense anything from a fraction of a cubic metre to 10 cubic metres per load. Whether you are setting a single gatepost or laying a barn floor, we have the flexibility to accommodate.
Modify the Mix as Required
Some projects call for different concrete grades in different areas. Our operators reconfigure the mix between pours without needing to return to base or arrange a follow-up delivery.

A Supplier Who Understands Rural and Village Properties
Why Choose Base Concrete in Princes Risborough?
Partnering with Base Concrete for your Princes Risborough project means working with a company that values craftsmanship and customer care.
Genuine Local Knowledge
Operating from Hemel Hempstead, we regularly travel the roads around Princes Risborough and understand the access challenges that come with Chiltern properties. Narrow lanes, farm tracks and heritage buildings hold no surprises for our experienced drivers.
Verified Quality Standards
All our concrete conforms to British Standard BS8500-2 and originates from QSRMC accredited production. Independent cube testing at approved laboratories confirms compressive strength, giving you documented confidence in the product.
Respectful of Your Surroundings
Our crews appreciate the rural character of Princes Risborough and treat every property with care. They protect surfaces, manage spillages and tidy up before leaving, ensuring minimal disruption to you and your neighbours.
Compact Vehicles for Tricky Access
Country properties often sit at the end of single-track lanes or behind tight gateways. Our mini mix lorries, no larger than a typical skip truck, reach locations that standard concrete wagons simply cannot.
How do I calculate how much concrete I need?
Multiply the length by width by depth of your pour area, with all measurements in metres. A driveway section of 6m by 3m at 100mm (0.1m) deep requires 1.8 cubic metres. Our team will happily double-check your figures when you get in touch.
When can I walk or drive on freshly poured concrete?
Light foot traffic is generally safe after 24 to 48 hours in normal weather. Vehicles should remain off driveways for at least seven days. Concrete continues to harden and reaches full design strength at around 28 days, so patience during curing improves long-term durability.
Is cement the same thing as concrete?
No. Cement is a fine powder used as a binding agent. Concrete is the finished material produced when cement is combined with water, sand and aggregates like gravel or crushed stone. The two words are often confused, but they describe different products.
Can you supply small amounts of concrete in Princes Risborough?
Absolutely. Volumetric mixing is perfectly suited to modest quantities because we produce only what you pour. There is no minimum order penalty, and you will never be encouraged to take more than you actually need.
What is your delivery time to Princes Risborough?
Princes Risborough falls comfortably within our regular service area. Depending on our schedule, we can often accommodate short-notice requests. For larger projects or specific time slots, booking ahead ensures you secure your preferred date.
