Ready-mix concrete for floors in Margate

Floors are the service Margate’s renovation economy generates most. Victorian terraces and Cliftonville flats being brought back into use need suspended timber floors replaced with ground-bearing slabs, lower ground and cellar floors formed where damp space is becoming habitable space, and rear addition floors re-laid where a layout has changed.

The seafront and Old Town add the commercial version as premises change hands: shop and unit floors, thresholds and small workshop slabs, in buildings with no side access at all.

Feeding a floor from a street with nowhere to stop

This is what separates Margate from Ramsgate along the same coast. Ramsgate’s obstacle is a basement area and a gradient. Margate’s is density: terraced streets parked on both sides, an Old Town narrower again, and a seafront with its own restrictions on where and when a vehicle can be.

A floor is the pour that suffers most from it, because it has to be placed continuously and the vehicle has to hold a position for the whole of it. Where the standing position is a hundred metres along the street and the floor is at the back of the building, a barrow route is not a delivery method, it is a series of interruptions with a joint at each one.

A line pump is normally the primary answer here rather than the upgrade. Hose runs from wherever the vehicle can legally sit, through the front of the property, and places the concrete at the far corner so the floor is laid back towards the door. Mini-mix covers the small floors where a single load and a short route are genuinely enough.

What a Margate floor enquiry needs

The floor area and thickness, whether it is ground-bearing or suspended, the route from the street to the room, and a photograph if you have one. 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.
