FAQ's

What is volumetric concrete?

Volumetric concrete is a type of concrete that is mixed on-site rather than in a central batch plant. It provides the flexibility to produce the exact amount of concrete needed, eliminating waste and saving costs.

What are the benefits of using volumetric concrete?

Volumetric concrete reduces waste as it allows for precise measurement of the amount needed for a job. It also ensures the concrete is fresh and at its optimal strength upon delivery.

Do you offer both residential and commercial concrete services?

Yes, we provide volumetric concrete and pumping services for both residential and commercial projects. We can handle everything from home foundations to large-scale commercial developments.

How is the cost of volumetric concrete and pumping services determined?

Cost is determined by various factors such as the volume of concrete required, the complexity of the pumping job, and travel distance.

What is a concrete pumping service?

A concrete pumping service uses specialized machines to transport concrete to specific locations, even hard-to-reach areas. It increases efficiency and safety on construction sites.

How does a concrete pump work?

A concrete pump works by using hydraulic and pneumatic systems to move concrete from a mixing truck to the application site. It can pump concrete vertically and horizontally, making it ideal for high-rise and long-distance projects.

What types of projects can benefit from concrete pumping services?

Almost all concrete projects can benefit from pumping services, particularly those that are difficult to reach with traditional methods. This includes high-rise buildings, long-distance infrastructures, and projects with tight spaces or obstacles.

What areas do you service?

We operate across the Midlands region of the UK.

How can I schedule a concrete delivery or pumping service?

You can schedule a delivery or pumping service by contacting us via our online form, email, or phone. We recommend scheduling at least a few days in advance to ensure availability.

What if I order too much or too little concrete?

With volumetric concrete, this is not a concern as we mix the exact amount of concrete you need on-site. If you require more or less than initially estimated, we can adjust accordingly.

How long does concrete take to dry?

Drying time can vary depending on environmental conditions and the specific type of concrete mix used. On average, it takes about 24-48 hours for concrete to dry enough to support weight, but it can take up to 28 days to fully cure and reach its maximum strength.

What safety measures do you take during concrete pumping?

Our team is trained to follow strict safety procedures, including regular equipment inspections, keeping the site clear of unnecessary personnel during pumping, and ensuring proper setup and operation of the pump.

Is your company insured and licensed?

Yes, we are fully licensed and insured to operate in our service areas. We adhere to all local and national regulations regarding concrete delivery and pumping.

How can I prepare my site for concrete pouring?

Your site should be cleared of any debris, and a firm, level base should be prepared. Any necessary forms or reinforcements should be installed prior to our arrival. If you need additional guidance on site preparation, our team is happy to assist.

What do I need to do after the concrete is poured?

After the concrete is poured, it will need to be smoothed and finished as desired. It should also be properly cured to ensure optimal strength and durability. Our team can provide specific instructions based on your project’s requirements.
