Ready Mix Concrete Hemel Hempstead
Base Concrete is proud to call Hemel Hempstead home. Since establishing our family business here in 2002, we have become the trusted concrete supplier for homeowners, tradespeople and contractors throughout the town and wider Dacorum district. Being based in Hemel Hempstead means we know the area intimately and can respond quickly to local customers. We deliver across Hemel Hempstead, Bovingdon, Chipperfield, Kings Langley, Berkhamsted, Leverstock Green, Adeyfield, Bennetts End and the surrounding communities.
All our concrete is delivered using volumetric mixer lorries. These specialist vehicles transport cement, aggregates and water in separate compartments, blending them fresh at your property the moment they are needed. Because the concrete is mixed on-site rather than at a distant plant, it reaches your formwork at peak workability and cures to its full design strength. This approach also ensures you pay only for concrete actually poured, with no waste and no charges for leftover material.
As your neighbours, we take extra pride in serving Hemel Hempstead customers well. Our team is ready to discuss your project, help calculate quantities and ensure everything runs smoothly. Local customers consistently tell us how much they appreciate the clean and tidy sites we leave behind.

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:
How On-Site Mixing Benefits Hemel Hempstead Customers
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Opting for volumetric delivery from Base Concrete provides clear advantages that traditional supply methods cannot match.
Pay Only for What You Pour
Conventional drum deliveries charge for the entire load regardless of actual usage. Our volumetric mixers produce concrete on demand, stopping when your formwork is full. Your invoice reflects only concrete that enters your project.
Freshness That Guarantees Strength
Concrete begins losing workability from the instant it is mixed. By blending it at your Hemel Hempstead site rather than elsewhere, we deliver a product that flows readily, compacts thoroughly and achieves its specified compressive strength.
Capacity for Any Requirement
Our lorries handle everything from a fraction of a cubic metre for a small repair to continuous loads for a major commercial pour. No project is too modest and no job too ambitious.
Modify the Mix On the Spot
When different sections of your project need different concrete grades, our operators adjust the recipe between pours. There is no need for a second lorry or an additional scheduled delivery.

Why Choose Base Concrete in Hemel Hempstead ?
Selecting Base Concrete for your Hemel Hempstead project means working with a supplier who is genuinely local and personally invested in your success.
Based Right Here in Hemel Hempstead
Unlike suppliers who travel from miles away, we operate from your doorstep. This means faster response times, lower delivery costs and a team that truly knows the town, its streets and its properties.
Family Values, Professional Standards
We are a family-run company that treats every customer with care. Our team offers honest advice drawn from more than two decades of serving Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding area.
Quality Assured to British Standards
All our concrete meets British Standard BS8500-2 and comes from QSRMC accredited sources. Regular cube testing at independent laboratories confirms compressive strength, giving you documented proof that the product performs as specified.
Tidy, Considerate Crews
Our drivers and pump operators live and work in this community. They treat every property with respect, protecting surfaces, containing spillages and leaving sites spotless. It is a standard we are known for locally.
How do I calculate how much concrete I need?
Multiply length by width by depth, with all measurements in metres, to get the volume in cubic metres. A driveway of 6m by 3m at 100mm (0.1m) deep requires 1.8 cubic metres. Our team will happily verify your figures before you confirm an order.
When can I walk or drive on freshly poured 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 approximately 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 quantities in Hemel Hempstead?
Absolutely. Volumetric mixing suits smaller orders perfectly because we produce only what you pour. There is no minimum load charge, and you will never be pressured to order more than your project requires.
How quickly can you deliver within Hemel Hempstead?
Being based in Hemel Hempstead means we can often respond the same day, subject to availability. For larger projects or specific time slots, booking ahead guarantees your preferred date. No other supplier can match our local response times.
