Ready Mix Concrete Luton
Base Concrete delivers outstanding ready mix concrete to customers across Luton and the wider South Bedfordshire region. Established in 2002, our family company has grown through satisfied customers who recommend us for our reliable service, transparent pricing and concrete that consistently meets specification. We deliver throughout Luton, Dunstable, Houghton Regis, Leagrave, Stopsley, Caddington, Slip End and surrounding communities.
All our deliveries arrive via volumetric mixer lorries. These specialist vehicles differ from traditional concrete trucks by storing cement, aggregates and water separately, then blending them fresh at your property immediately before pouring. This means the concrete entering your formwork is only minutes old, giving you excellent workability and ensuring it cures to its full designed strength. You also benefit from paying solely for concrete that is actually dispensed, with no waste and no charges for unused material.
Reach out to our helpful team to talk through your project. We will assist with calculating quantities and answer any questions you have. Luton customers regularly praise us for leaving their sites clean and tidy, a commitment we take seriously on every job.

Our volumetric mixers can produce any concrete grade on site to match your project requirements. Here are the most common commercial mixes we supply:
Why Fresh On-Site Mixing Works Better for Luton Customers
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Choosing volumetric concrete delivery from Base Concrete brings clear advantages that traditional methods cannot match.
Only Pay for Concrete Used
Conventional drum deliveries invoice for the entire load whether you need it all or not. Our volumetric mixers produce concrete as it is poured, stopping when your formwork is full. Every pound you spend goes directly into your project.
Maximum Freshness, Maximum Performance
Concrete starts to lose workability the moment it is mixed. By producing it fresh in Luton rather than at a remote batching plant, we deliver a product that flows smoothly, compacts properly and cures to its intended strength.
Suitable for Any Project Scale
From a partial cubic metre for a gate post to continuous loads for an industrial floor, our volumetric lorries adapt to your needs. No job is too small and no project too large.
Adjust Specifications On the Spot
When different sections of your job require different concrete grades, our operators modify the mix between pours without needing to arrange a separate delivery.

Experienced Family Suppliers Committed to Excellence
Why Choose Base Concrete in Luton?
Partnering with Base Concrete for your Luton project means selecting a supplier that genuinely cares about delivering results.
Built on Family Values
We are a family-run business that treats customers as people, not numbers. Our team takes time to understand your requirements and provides honest, practical advice drawn from over two decades in the industry.
Accredited and Independently Tested
Every batch we supply conforms to British Standard BS8500-2 and comes from QSRMC accredited sources. Regular cube testing at independent laboratories confirms compressive strength, providing documented assurance of quality.
Respectful Service on Every Job
Our drivers and operators appreciate that they are working on your property. They protect surfaces, manage spillages carefully and tidy up before leaving. Luton customers frequently mention this level of care in their reviews.
Fleet Ready for Urban and Suburban Sites
Luton encompasses busy urban streets, suburban estates and rural fringes. Our range of vehicle sizes, including mini mix lorries no larger than a skip truck, ensures we can reach properties with restricted access.
How do I calculate the amount of concrete my project needs?
Measure length, width and depth in metres, then multiply them together to get the volume in cubic metres. A driveway section of 7m by 3m at 100mm (0.1m) deep would need 2.1 cubic metres. Our team is happy to double-check your figures before confirming an order.
How soon after pouring can I use the concrete?
Light foot traffic is typically safe after 24 to 48 hours in normal conditions. Vehicles should stay off driveways for at least seven days to avoid surface damage. Concrete reaches full design strength at approximately 28 days, so patience during curing pays dividends in durability.
What is the difference between cement and concrete?
Cement is a powdered binding ingredient. Concrete is the finished composite material created when cement is mixed with water, sand and aggregates such as gravel or crushed stone. Although the words are often used interchangeably, they describe different things.
Do you deliver small quantities to Luton?
Absolutely. Volumetric mixing is perfectly suited to modest orders because we produce only what you pour. There is no minimum load penalty, and you will never be pressured to order more than your project needs.
What is your typical delivery time to Luton?
Luton is well within our regular service area and easily accessible from our Hemel Hempstead base via the M1. Subject to availability, we can often accommodate short-notice requests. For larger projects or guaranteed time slots, booking in advance is recommended.
