Volumetric concrete mixed on site in Canterbury
If the pour is on a campus or on the Sturry and southern fringes, a volumetric mixer has room to position and the quantity can be settled as the job goes. Inside the walls it has neither. Kent Readymix arranges volumetric concrete mixed on site across Canterbury on that basis.

Where mixing on site fits in Canterbury
University and hospital campuses produce the pours this service suits: make-up and levelling around existing structures, void filling, plant base work where the excavation tells you something the drawing did not, and jobs where one visit has to produce two different mixes.
The Sturry side and the southern fringes add the domestic version, where dug levels, soft spots and thickened edges move the figure away from the calculation. Most of our approved suppliers work on a pay-for-what-you-use basis, so the quantity is settled at the end of the pour.
Inside the walls, the same uncertainty exists in period and listed property and the service usually cannot reach it.
Why the walled centre rules this vehicle out
A volumetric mixer carries cement, aggregate, sand and water in separate compartments as well as the plant to combine them, which makes it large and heavy and gives it three requirements: firm standing, room to position, and clearance to work the discharge auger.
The timed, bollarded pedestrian zone, the medieval lanes and the conservation constraints between them deny all three. A vehicle that can only be present inside a window, cannot stand for long, and has nowhere to position is the wrong vehicle whatever the pour needs.
So inside the walls the workable answers are mini-mix in a single planned visit, or a line pump run from a permitted position outside the restriction. On the campuses and the fringes the vehicle positions properly and the only checks left are the ordinary ones: overhead cables and branches, and what sits under the standing position.
Placing a Canterbury volumetric enquiry
Say whether the pour is inside the walls, on a campus or on the fringes, what you are pouring, and how confident you are in the volume. 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.
