Ready-mix concrete for floors in Canterbury
A power-floated finish is a dense, hard, dust-resistant surface worked at a fixed point in the concrete's set, which is why campus and hospital floors in Canterbury are planned around the finishing window. Kent Readymix arranges ready-mix concrete for floors across Canterbury.

Campus floors, and floors in buildings that predate the idea
University and hospital campuses order the substantial floor work: unit, workshop, store and plant room floors on managed sites with construction access, often specified with a designation, a finish and sometimes a flatness classification.
Inside and around the walls the same service means something very different. Floors re-laid in period and listed buildings, floors formed in cellars and lower ground rooms, and floors in a student and house-in-multiple-occupation stock that turns over constantly. Nothing is square, very little is standard, and the build-up has to be worked out on site rather than taken from a drawing.
Placing a floor inside a timed pedestrian zone
A floor is the worst possible fit for a timed loading window, because it has to be placed continuously and finished at a point in its set that the concrete decides rather than the diary. Inside the walls, the bollarded pedestrian zone means a vehicle either arrives inside its window or does not arrive at all, and the medieval lanes limit where it can stand and for how long once it has.
That leaves two workable shapes. A small floor placed from a mini-mix vehicle in a single visit, sized so the pour is complete before the window closes. Or a line pump run from a permitted standing position outside the restriction, so the concrete travels through the lanes and the lorry does not, which is the only way a floor of any size goes in down there.
On the campuses and the fringes none of this applies. A full mixer reaches the opening, successive loads are practical, and the conversation is about placing rate and finish rather than access.
Placing a Canterbury floor order
Say whether the building is inside the walls, on a campus or on the fringes, and send the area, the thickness and any finish requirement. 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.
