Why Mix-on-Site Works Better for Home Projects
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Choosing volumetric concrete for your domestic project brings several advantages:
Pay Only for What You Use
Our volumetric lorries display exactly how much concrete is poured, so you are only charged for what goes into your project. No more paying for half-empty loads or worrying about over-ordering.
Fresh Concrete Every Time
Because we mix on-site, your concrete is always fresh with maximum strength and workability. There is no risk of the mix starting to set during delivery.
Flexible Mix Options
Need to adjust the mix on the day? No problem. Our lorries carry all the raw materials separately, so we can tweak the specifications to suit changing conditions or requirements.
Less Waste and Mess
With accurate volumes and fresh mixing, there is virtually no leftover concrete to dispose of. This keeps your site cleaner and avoids unnecessary costs.

A Family Business You Can Trust
Why Choose Base Concrete?
Since 2002, we have been delivering concrete to homes and building sites across North London and Hertfordshire. Here is what sets us apart:
Family-Run and Friendly
We are a family business based in Hemel Hempstead with helpful staff who take the time to understand your project and answer your questions.
Clean and Tidy Sites
We pride ourselves on leaving your site as clean as possible, which is not always the case in our industry. Our team takes care to minimise mess and disruption.
Flexible Lorry Sizes
We have smaller 7.5 tonne lorries for tight access and larger vehicles for bigger jobs. If access is really tricky, we also offer concrete pumping services.
Accurate Quantities
We work through your measurements over the phone to calculate the right amount of concrete. Our volumetric system then ensures precise delivery with no guesswork.
How much concrete do I need?
You can work out the volume by multiplying length by width by depth (all in metres) to get cubic metres. For example, a 3m x 3m patio that is 100mm deep would need 0.9 cubic metres. We recommend adding 5-10% extra to account for uneven ground and spillage. Give us a call with your measurements and we will help you calculate the right amount.
What is the difference between C20 and C35 concrete?
The number tells you the strength in Newtons per square millimetre after 28 days of curing. C20 is suitable for most domestic floors, shed bases and light foundations. C35 is stronger and better for driveways and areas that will take heavier loads or vehicle traffic. Higher numbers mean more cement and greater strength.
How long does concrete take to set?
Concrete typically reaches about 70% of its final strength within 7 days and achieves full strength after 28 days under normal conditions. You can usually walk on a new slab after 24-48 hours, but avoid putting heavy loads on it for at least a week.
Can you deliver to areas with limited access?
Yes, we have several options for difficult access. Our mini mix lorries are the same size as a 6-yard skip lorry and can reach many tight spots. For really tricky locations, our line pumps can run pipes through narrow gaps, and our boom pump can reach over obstacles.
What areas do you cover?
We deliver domestic concrete across North London and Hertfordshire, including Hemel Hempstead, Watford, Welwyn, Stevenage and surrounding areas. Check our Supply Areas page or give us a call to confirm we can reach you.
