Ready Mix Concrete Ruislip
Base Concrete supplies dependable ready mix concrete throughout Ruislip and the wider North West London area. Established in 2002, our family-run company has grown through recommendations and returning customers who appreciate our straightforward service and quality product. We deliver regularly to Ruislip, Ruislip Manor, Eastcote, Northwood, Pinner, Ickenham, Harefield and surrounding neighbourhoods.
We operate a fleet of volumetric mixer lorries, which differ from traditional concrete trucks in one important way. Rather than arriving with pre-mixed concrete in a rotating drum, our vehicles carry cement, aggregates and water separately, then blend them fresh at your property. This means the concrete entering your formwork is minutes old, not hours, giving you superior workability and a stronger finished result. You also pay only for concrete actually dispensed, never for leftover material you cannot use.
Our helpful team is ready to discuss your project, review your measurements and ensure you order the correct quantity. Customers consistently praise us for leaving properties neat and tidy once the job is done, a standard we uphold on every delivery.

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:
Why Ruislip Customers Benefit from Fresh On-Site Mixing
Benefits of Volumetric Concrete Delivery
Volumetric delivery from Base Concrete provides clear advantages that conventional concrete supply struggles to match.
Spend Only on What You Use
Traditional deliveries charge for the entire drum whether you need it all or not. Our lorries mix as they pour and stop when your formwork is full, so your invoice reflects only the concrete that goes into your project.
Optimum Quality Guaranteed
Concrete is at its best the moment it leaves the mixer. By producing it fresh in Ruislip rather than at a remote batching plant, we deliver a product that flows easily, compacts thoroughly and hardens to its full design strength.
Handles Every Project Scale
Our volumetric mixers can produce anything from a small fraction of a cubic metre to 10 cubic metres per load. Whether you are filling a single fence post hole or laying an entire warehouse floor, we have the capacity.
Alter the Mix Mid-Pour
Different areas of a job sometimes require different concrete strengths or consistencies. Our operators can adjust the recipe between pours without needing to schedule an additional delivery.

Reliable Service from a Trusted Family Supplier
Why Choose Base Concrete in Ruislip?
Working with Base Concrete for your Ruislip project means choosing a company that prioritises quality and customer satisfaction.
Rooted in Family Values
We are a family business that treats customers as individuals, not order numbers. Our team takes time to understand your needs and offers practical guidance based on over 20 years in the trade.
Quality Assured to British Standards
All our concrete conforms to British Standard BS8500-2 and originates from QSRMC accredited production. Regular independent testing verifies compressive strength, so you receive documented proof that the product meets specification.
Respectful of Your Property
Concrete delivery does not have to mean mess and disruption. Our drivers protect surfaces, contain spillages and tidy up before leaving. Many Ruislip customers tell us this level of care is refreshingly rare.
Vehicles for Suburban Streets
Ruislip’s residential roads vary from generous avenues to narrower side streets. Our mini mix lorries, no larger than a typical skip truck, access properties that full-size concrete wagons cannot reach.
How do I work out how much concrete my project needs?
Calculate the volume in cubic metres by multiplying length by width by depth, all in metres. A patio measuring 4m by 3m at 100mm (0.1m) deep would need 1.2 cubic metres. Our team is happy to verify your figures before you confirm an order.
How long must I wait before using freshly poured concrete?
Light foot traffic is normally fine after 24 to 48 hours in typical weather. Keep vehicles off driveways for at least a week to prevent surface damage. Full strength develops over approximately 28 days, so allowing longer curing times improves durability.
Are cement and concrete interchangeable terms?
No, although many people use them as though they are. Cement is a fine powder that acts as a binder. Concrete is the composite material formed when cement is mixed with water, sand and aggregate. Cement is an ingredient; concrete is the end product.
Can I order a small quantity for a minor job in Ruislip?
Certainly. Volumetric mixing suits small orders perfectly because we produce only what you pour. There is no minimum load requirement, and you will not be pressured to take more than you need.
What is your typical delivery time to Ruislip?
Ruislip is easily accessible from our base via the M25 and A40. Subject to availability, we can often arrange delivery at short notice. For larger projects or guaranteed time slots, booking in advance is advisable.
