Ready Mix Concrete Borehamwood
Base Concrete supplies top quality ready mix concrete across Borehamwood and the wider Hertsmere district. Our family company has been trading since 2002, developing a loyal customer base among homeowners, builders and contractors who appreciate dependable service and concrete that meets its specification every time. We deliver throughout Borehamwood, Elstree, Shenley, Radlett, Bushey, Well End, Arkley and surrounding areas.
All our deliveries use volumetric mixer lorries, a modern approach that transforms how you receive concrete. Instead of pre-mixed material losing workability during transit, our vehicles transport cement, aggregates and water separately, blending them fresh at your property the moment they are needed. This ensures concrete enters your formwork at peak condition and cures to its maximum designed strength. You also pay exclusively for concrete that is actually poured, with nothing wasted and no charges for surplus.
Contact our personable team to discuss your project requirements. We will help you calculate quantities, walk you through the process and ensure everything is ready for a trouble-free pour. Borehamwood customers consistently praise us for leaving their sites immaculate 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 Mixing Gives Borehamwood Customers the Edge
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Opting for volumetric delivery from Base Concrete brings tangible benefits that traditional supply methods cannot match.
Billed Only for Concrete Dispensed
Standard drum deliveries charge for the entire load whether you need all of it or not. Our volumetric mixers produce concrete as it is poured, stopping when your formwork is full. Your invoice reflects solely the concrete that enters your project.
Freshness Guarantees Performance
Concrete starts to stiffen from the second it is mixed. By producing it at your Borehamwood site rather than miles away at a batching plant, we deliver a product that pours smoothly, compacts effectively and cures to its intended compressive strength.
Adaptable to Any Project Size
Our equipment handles everything from less than a cubic metre for a modest domestic task to continuous loads for a substantial commercial slab. No project is too minor and no job too extensive.
Modify Mix Designs Instantly
When different sections of your project require different concrete grades, our operators adjust the recipe between pours without returning to base or scheduling additional deliveries.

A Trusted Family Supplier with Proven Results
Why Choose Base Concrete in Borehamwood?
Choosing Base Concrete for your Borehamwood project means partnering with a company that prioritises quality and customer satisfaction.
Family Business at Heart
We are a family-run company where every customer matters. Our team invests time understanding your requirements and provides candid advice built on more than two decades in the trade.
Quality Verified to British Standards
All our concrete conforms to British Standard BS8500-2 and originates from QSRMC accredited sources. Regular cube testing at independent laboratories confirms compressive strength, giving you documented confidence in the product you receive.
Respectful Service, Spotless Sites
Our drivers and pump operators understand they are working on your property. They protect surfaces, manage spillages carefully and tidy up before leaving. Borehamwood customers frequently mention this attention to detail in their feedback.
Fleet Ready for Town and Studios
Borehamwood features a mix of residential streets, commercial zones and studio complexes with varied access requirements. Our fleet includes mini mix lorries, comparable in size to a skip truck, that navigate tighter roads and access properties where larger vehicles cannot reach.
How do I calculate the concrete quantity my project requires?
Multiply length by width by depth, with all measurements in metres, to get the volume in cubic metres. A base of 4m by 4m at 100mm (0.1m) deep needs 1.6 cubic metres. Our team will gladly verify your calculation before you confirm an order.
How long before freshly poured concrete can be used?
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 used interchangeably, they refer to different products.
Can I order a small quantity for a minor job in Borehamwood?
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 Borehamwood?
Borehamwood is a short journey from our Hemel Hempstead base via the M1 and A1. Subject to availability, we can often arrange delivery at short notice. For larger projects or specific time slots, booking ahead secures your preferred date.
