Concrete for Foundations Lincolnshire | Strip & Trench Fill

Concrete for foundations in Lincolnshire

Get the specification wrong on foundations and you're either risking structural problems or wasting money on a stronger mix than you need. We've been helping Lincolnshire builders, contractors and self-builders get it right for years. Give us a call and we'll tell you exactly what you need.

Common foundation types and specifications

• Trench fill foundations: C25/ST2 minimum, typically C30 for faster strength gain
• Strip foundations: C25/ST2 minimum, standard for most two-storey domestic builds
• Pad footings: C30, often with reinforcement as specified by the structural engineer
• Raft foundations: C30–C35 with fibres or reinforcement mesh
• Piled ground beams: Specified by structural engineer. Give us a call to discuss.

Sulphate-resistant concrete

Parts of Lincolnshire, particularly in the south of the county, have elevated sulphate levels in the ground. Where your ground investigation report or building control requires it, we supply concrete to DS2–DS4 sulphate classifications using SRPC or GGBS blended cements.
