Ready Mix Concrete Northwood
Base Concrete is the go-to supplier for ready mix concrete in Northwood and the surrounding Hillingdon district. Since launching our family business in 2002, we have steadily grown through customer recommendations and repeat orders from people who appreciate straightforward pricing, dependable delivery and concrete that performs exactly as promised. We serve customers throughout Northwood, Northwood Hills, Moor Park, Ruislip, Eastcote, Rickmansworth and neighbouring areas.
Our fleet consists entirely of volumetric mixer lorries. Unlike conventional concrete trucks that arrive with pre-mixed material already setting in the drum, our vehicles store each ingredient separately and blend your concrete fresh at your property. This method delivers a product at its most workable, which then cures to maximum strength. You also benefit financially, paying only for concrete that is actually poured rather than a fixed drum load.
Contact our friendly team to discuss your project details. We will help you work out the quantity required and answer any questions along the way. Northwood customers often comment on how spotless we leave their properties once the job is done, a standard we maintain on every delivery.

Ready Mix Concrete
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:
What On-Site Mixing Means for Northwood Projects
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Opting for volumetric delivery from Base Concrete provides distinct advantages over traditional concrete supply.
Pay Solely for What Is Poured
Drum mixer deliveries charge for the whole load even when you only use part of it. Our volumetric lorries produce concrete on demand, stopping the moment your pour is complete. Every penny you spend contributes to concrete in the ground.
Freshness That Translates to Strength
Concrete begins losing workability from the second it is mixed. By blending it at your Northwood property, we hand you a product that flows evenly, compacts thoroughly and achieves its designed compressive strength.
Capacity for Projects Large and Small
Our equipment handles everything from a fraction of a cubic metre for a minor repair to full commercial loads. No project is too modest or too ambitious for our team.
Instant Specification Changes
Should different parts of your project require different concrete grades, our operators adjust the mix between pours without returning to base or scheduling another delivery.

A Dependable Family Supplier Focused on Quality
Why Choose Base Concrete in Northwood?
Choosing Base Concrete for your Northwood project means working with a company that genuinely prioritises your success.
Rooted in Family Principles
As a family-run business, we take personal pride in every job. Our team listens carefully to your needs and provides practical advice based on more than 20 years of hands-on experience.
Quality Confirmed by Independent Testing
All our concrete conforms to British Standard BS8500-2 and originates from QSRMC accredited production. Regular cube testing at approved laboratories verifies compressive strength, giving you documented proof of quality.
Clean, Careful Workmanship
Our drivers and pump operators treat your property with the same care they would show their own. Surfaces are protected, spillages contained and sites left tidy. Northwood customers frequently mention this in their feedback.
Vehicles Suited to Leafy Suburbs
Northwood’s tree-lined streets include some narrower roads and private drives. Our mini mix lorries, no bigger than a typical skip truck, navigate these comfortably, reaching properties that larger vehicles cannot access.
How do I calculate the concrete volume I need?
Multiply the length by width by depth of your pour area, with all measurements in metres. A patio of 4m by 4m at 100mm (0.1m) deep requires 1.6 cubic metres. Our team will happily verify your figures when you get in touch.
When is it safe to walk or drive on freshly poured concrete?
Light foot traffic is generally fine after 24 to 48 hours under normal weather conditions. Vehicles should remain off driveways for at least seven days. Concrete reaches its full design strength at around 28 days, so allowing longer curing times enhances durability.
Are cement and concrete the same thing?
No. Cement is a fine powder that acts as a binding agent. Concrete is the composite material produced when cement is combined with water, sand and aggregates like gravel or crushed stone. The two terms are often confused but describe different products.
Can I order a small quantity for a minor job in Northwood?
Certainly. Volumetric mixing is ideal for smaller orders because we produce only what you pour. There is no minimum load penalty, and you will never be encouraged to take more than your project requires.
How soon can you deliver to Northwood?
Northwood is conveniently close to our Hemel Hempstead depot and easily accessible via the M25. Subject to our schedule, we can often arrange delivery at short notice. For larger projects or specific time slots, booking ahead secures your preferred date.
