Frequently Asked Questions

For most deliveries we need 24 hours notice, though we can often accommodate same-day orders placed before 10am. For large commercial pours, we'd recommend booking 2–3 days in advance to guarantee your preferred time slot.

There is no minimum order with our volumetric service: you pay only for the concrete actually poured. For ready mix deliveries, a minimum of 2m³ applies due to transit mixer economics.

We supply all standard grades from C20/GEN 3 up to C40. We also offer specialist mixes including waterproof concrete, fibre-reinforced concrete, permeable concrete and foam concrete.

For volumetric concrete, yes. The mix can be adjusted on-site. For ready mix, the slump is fixed at the plant, though we can supply plasticised mixes for improved workability without adding water.

Initial set occurs between 2–4 hours depending on temperature, mix and admixtures. Concrete gains around 70% of its characteristic strength in the first 7 days, and 100% at 28 days. Do not apply loads until appropriate strength is achieved.

Yes. A significant portion of our work is agricultural. Our drivers are experienced with rural access, and our volumetric trucks are often more manouvrable than standard transit mixers on farm tracks. Call us to discuss access.

We cover the whole of Lincolnshire, from Grimsby and Cleethorpes in the north to Grantham and Spalding in the south. Our depot is in Tetney, giving us fast access to the Grimsby and Louth areas. See our Areas We Cover page for full details.
