Base Concrete
Ready Mix Concrete Amersham
Base Concrete delivers outstanding ready mix concrete across Amersham and the picturesque Chiltern Hills. Our family company has been trading since 2002, cultivating a strong reputation among homeowners, builders and developers who value punctual service and concrete that consistently meets the highest standards. We serve customers throughout Amersham, Amersham Old Town, Chesham, Little Chalfont, Great Missenden, Holmer Green, Penn and surrounding villages.
Our deliveries use volumetric mixer lorries, a sophisticated approach that transforms how concrete reaches your site. Rather than pre-mixed material losing workability during transit, our vehicles store cement, aggregates and water separately and combine them fresh at your property immediately before pouring. This guarantees concrete at its optimum condition, destined to cure to its full specified strength. You also pay only for concrete that is actually used, with no surplus and no unnecessary charges.
Speak to our personable team about your project requirements. We will assist with calculating quantities, walk you through the process and ensure everything is prepared for a seamless pour. Amersham customers consistently compliment us on leaving their properties pristine once the work is finished.
We use volumetric mixers for all our commercial concrete deliveries. This means we mix your concrete fresh on site, so you only pay for what you use. There is no waste, no waiting for set delivery times, and no worries about concrete going off in transit.

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 Amersham Customers
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Choosing volumetric delivery from Base Concrete provides clear advantages that conventional supply methods cannot match.
Pay Exclusively for Concrete Poured
Traditional drum deliveries charge for the entire load whether you need all of it or not. Our volumetric mixers produce concrete on demand, stopping when your formwork is full. Every pound you spend contributes to concrete in your project.
Freshness That Ensures Performance
Concrete starts losing workability the moment it is mixed. By producing it at your Amersham property rather than at a distant batching plant, we supply a product that flows beautifully, compacts easily and cures to its designed compressive strength.
Flexibility for Any Project Scale
Our equipment handles everything from less than a cubic metre for a modest garden task to continuous loads for a substantial commercial slab. No project is too small and no job too extensive.
Adjust the Mix Without Interruption
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 Family Supplier Who Understands Chiltern Properties
Why Choose Base Concrete in Amersham?
Selecting Base Concrete for your Amersham project means partnering with a company that values quality and takes genuine pride in its work.
Family Business Through and Through
We are a family-run company where customers receive personal attention. Our team listens to your requirements and provides honest advice refined through more than two decades of serving the region.
Quality Assured to British Standards
All our concrete conforms to British Standard BS8500-2 and originates from QSRMC accredited sources. Regular cube testing at independent laboratories verifies compressive strength, giving you documented assurance that the product performs as specified.
Respectful Service, Immaculate Sites
Our drivers and pump operators appreciate the character of Amersham properties. They protect driveways and landscaping, contain spillages meticulously and leave sites spotless. Customers frequently highlight this attention to detail in their feedback.
Vehicles for Chiltern Lanes and Village Roads
Amersham and its surrounding villages feature narrow lanes, heritage streets and properties accessed via private drives. Our mini mix lorries, no bigger than a typical skip truck, navigate these settings comfortably, reaching sites that larger vehicles cannot access.
How do I work out how much concrete my project needs? the difference between commercial and domestic concrete?
Calculate the volume in cubic metres by multiplying length by width by depth, with all measurements in metres. A driveway section of 7m by 3m at 100mm (0.1m) deep requires 2.1 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
Is cement the same thing as concrete?
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 Amersham?
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 Amersham?
Amersham is accessible from our Hemel Hempstead base via the A413 and A416. Subject to availability, we can often arrange delivery at short notice. For larger projects or specific time slots, booking ahead secures your preferred date.
