Ready-mix concrete for slabs in Ashford
A slab is one continuous pour laid over a compacted sub-base, and in Ashford it is usually the oversite for a new plot on the southern or western edge, or a yard slab in the distribution belt at Sevington. Kent Readymix arranges ready-mix concrete for slabs across Ashford, where reach across the plot decides the method.

The slabs an Ashford plot actually needs
Ashford’s slab work divides by scale rather than by difficulty. On the housing side it is oversite slabs, garage bases and garden building bases on plots that are new or only a few years old, laid at a domestic depth over a sub-base that was compacted as part of the plot works.
On the commercial side, the logistics and distribution units around Sevington and Waterbrook order slabs at a scale no domestic job reaches: yard slabs, external hardstandings and loading aprons where a vehicle mix rather than a car decides the depth. A slab taking articulated traffic is a designed element and the designation on the drawing is what gets ordered.
How far a chute reaches across an open Ashford plot
Almost everywhere in Ashford a loaded mixer gets to the work. Estate roads on live plots are wide, often still unadopted, and the ring road keeps heavy vehicles clear of a compact centre rather than routing them through it. So the usual Kent question, whether the lorry fits, mostly does not arise.
Two questions replace it. The first is distance: on a large open plot the far corner of a slab can sit well beyond a chute, and nobody notices until the lorry is standing still. The second is whether the running surface will carry the vehicle. A plot part way through its works has ground a digger crossed happily and a fully loaded mixer will rut or sink into.
Answer both before the load is batched and the choice between a chute, a barrow run and a pump is already made. Answer neither and it gets made on the day by whatever the vehicle can reach.
Getting an Ashford slab priced
Send the slab dimensions, the depth, what will stand on it, and the distance from the nearest firm standing position to the furthest corner of the pour. That last figure is the one that decides the method here. Your quotation, delivery and payment are agreed directly with the approved supplier appointed to your pour.
Send the detail to hello@kentreadymix.co.uk and an approved supplier will confirm the mix, the volume and the delivery window.
