Ready Mix Concrete Bicester
Base Concrete is the trusted supplier of ready mix concrete across Bicester and the surrounding North Oxfordshire area. Our family business has been serving customers since 2002, steadily building a reputation among homeowners, builders and contractors who value dependable service and concrete that performs reliably on every project. We deliver throughout Bicester, Ambrosden, Launton, Chesterton, Wendlebury, Caversfield, Stratton Audley and surrounding villages.
Our concrete arrives via volumetric mixer lorries, a modern approach that revolutionises how concrete reaches your site. These specialist vehicles carry cement, aggregates and water in separate compartments, blending them fresh at your property the moment pouring begins. This ensures the concrete enters your formwork at peak workability and will cure to its full specified strength. Because we mix on demand, you pay solely for concrete that is actually poured, eliminating waste and avoiding charges for unused material.
Speak to our personable team about your project requirements. We will guide you through quantity calculations, explain the process and ensure everything is arranged for an efficient pour. Bicester customers consistently commend us for leaving their properties in impeccable condition once the work is finished.

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 Fresh On-Site Mixing Benefits Bicester Customers
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Choosing volumetric delivery from Base Concrete provides genuine advantages that older supply methods struggle to match.
Billed Only for Concrete Dispensed
Conventional drum deliveries charge for the entire load regardless of actual usage. Our volumetric mixers produce concrete on demand, halting when your formwork is full. Every pound you spend goes towards concrete in your project.
Freshness That Builds Strength
Concrete starts losing workability the instant it is mixed. By producing it at your Bicester site rather than at a distant batching plant, we deliver a product that flows smoothly, compacts fully and achieves its designed compressive strength.
Scales to Any Project Requirement
Our equipment handles everything from less than a cubic metre for a modest garden task to continuous loads for a substantial commercial pour. No project is too small and no scheme too extensive.
Alter Specifications Instantly
When different sections of your project require different concrete grades, our operators modify the recipe between pours without returning to base or arranging additional deliveries.

A Reliable Family Supplier Serving the Vale Since 2002
Why Choose Base Concrete in Aylesbury?
Selecting Base Concrete for your Bicester project means partnering with a company that genuinely cares about quality and customer satisfaction.
Rooted in Family Values
We are a family-run business where customers receive personal attention. Our team listens carefully to your requirements and provides honest advice refined through more than two decades of practical experience.
Independently Certified Quality
All our concrete conforms to British Standard BS8500-2 and originates from QSRMC accredited sources. Regular cube testing at approved laboratories verifies compressive strength, giving you documented assurance that the product meets specification.
Considerate Crews, Spotless Sites
Our drivers and pump operators appreciate they are guests on your property. They protect driveways and landscaping, contain spillages carefully and leave sites immaculate. Bicester customers frequently highlight this attention to detail in their feedback.
Vehicles for New Developments and Established Streets
Bicester combines established town centre streets with expanding new housing developments. Our fleet includes mini mix lorries, comparable in size to a skip truck, that navigate varied settings comfortably, reaching sites that larger vehicles cannot access.
How do I work out how much concrete my project needs?
Calculate the volume in cubic metres by multiplying length by width by depth, with all measurements in metres. A garage base of 6m by 3m at 100mm (0.1m) deep requires 1.8 cubic metres. Our team will gladly verify your figures before you confirm an order.
How long before I can walk or drive on freshly poured concrete?
Light foot traffic is generally safe after 24 to 48 hours in normal weather. Keep vehicles off driveways for at least seven days to avoid surface damage. Concrete reaches full design strength at approximately 28 days, so patience during curing benefits long-term durability.
Are cement and concrete the same thing?
No. Cement is a powdered binding ingredient. Concrete is the composite material created when cement is combined with water, sand and aggregates such as gravel or crushed stone. Although the terms are often confused, they describe different products.
Can I order a small quantity for a minor job in Bicester?
Certainly. Volumetric mixing suits smaller orders perfectly because we produce only what you pour. There is no minimum load charge, and you will never be encouraged to order more than your project needs.
How quickly can you deliver to Bicester?
Bicester is accessible from our Hemel Hempstead base via the M40 and A41. Subject to availability, we can often arrange delivery at short notice. For larger projects or specific time slots, booking ahead secures your preferred date.
