Ready Mix Concrete Knebworth
Base Concrete provides first-rate ready mix concrete to Knebworth and the charming villages of North Hertfordshire. Since establishing our family business in 2002, we have developed a loyal following among local homeowners, farmers, builders and contractors who value reliable service and concrete that meets specifications every time. We deliver throughout Knebworth, Codicote, Woolmer Green, Datchworth, Aston, Walkern, Stevenage and the surrounding countryside.
Our delivery method makes a real difference to customers in village locations. Every load arrives in a volumetric mixer lorry, which stores cement, aggregates and water separately and blends them fresh at your property just before pouring. This ensures the concrete reaches your formwork at optimum workability and cures to its full intended strength. Because we mix on demand, you pay only for the concrete that is actually used, with no waste and no charges for surplus material.
Get in touch with our friendly team to discuss your project. We will help you work out quantities, explain your options and ensure everything is ready for a seamless delivery. Knebworth customers regularly tell us how pleased they are that we leave their properties neat and tidy once the job is complete.

How Fresh Mixing Serves Knebworth Customers Better
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Selecting volumetric delivery from Base Concrete brings genuine advantages that conventional methods cannot match.
Charged Solely for What You Pour
Traditional drum deliveries invoice for the entire load, regardless of how much you actually need. Our volumetric mixers produce concrete as it is dispensed, halting when your pour is complete. Every penny you spend goes into concrete in the ground.
Freshness Delivers Strength
Concrete begins losing workability from the moment it is mixed. By blending it at your Knebworth property rather than at a distant batching plant, we hand you a product that flows well, compacts thoroughly and achieves its designed compressive strength.
Flexible for Any Scale
Our lorries produce anything from a fraction of a cubic metre for a modest repair to continuous loads for a substantial commercial pour. No project is too small and no job too ambitious.
Alter the Mix Mid-Project
When different parts of your job call for different concrete grades, our operators adjust the recipe between pours. There is no need for a second lorry or a separately scheduled delivery.

A Supplier Who Understands Village and Rural Properties
Why Choose Base Concrete in Knebworth?
Working with Base Concrete for your Knebworth project means choosing a company that genuinely cares about doing things properly.
Family Roots, Professional Approach
We are a family-run business that treats every customer as an individual. Our team listens to your needs and provides straightforward advice drawn from more than 20 years of hands-on experience.
Certified Quality Standards
All our concrete meets British Standard BS8500-2 and comes from QSRMC accredited sources. Regular cube testing at independent laboratories verifies compressive strength, giving you documented assurance that the product performs as specified.
Thoughtful, Tidy Service
Our drivers and pump operators appreciate that they are working on your property. They safeguard surfaces, contain spillages and leave your site clean. Knebworth customers often highlight this care in their reviews.
Compact Vehicles for Country Lanes
Knebworth and its neighbouring villages feature narrow lanes, farm tracks and properties with limited access. Our mini mix lorries, no bigger than a typical skip truck, navigate these routes comfortably, reaching sites that larger vehicles cannot.
How do I work out how much concrete my project requires?
Calculate the volume in cubic metres by multiplying length by width by depth, with all measurements in metres. A patio base of 4m by 3.5m at 100mm (0.1m) deep needs 1.4 cubic metres. Our team will happily check your figures before you confirm an order.
How long before I can walk or drive on new concrete?
Light foot traffic is typically safe after 24 to 48 hours under normal conditions. Vehicles should stay off driveways for at least seven days to prevent surface damage. Concrete reaches full design strength at around 28 days, so patience during curing improves long-term durability.
What is the difference between cement and concrete?
Cement is a powdered binding ingredient. Concrete is the composite material created when cement is mixed with water, sand and aggregates like gravel or crushed stone. The terms are often confused, but they describe different products.
Do you deliver small amounts to Knebworth?
Yes. Volumetric mixing is ideal for modest orders because we produce only what you pour. There is no minimum load penalty, and you will never be encouraged to order more than your project needs.
What is your typical delivery time to Knebworth?
Knebworth is well within our regular service area and easily reached from our Hemel Hempstead base. Subject to availability, we can often accommodate short-notice requests. For larger projects or guaranteed time slots, booking ahead secures your preferred date.
