Mini-mix concrete delivery in Folkestone

Above the Leas and behind the harbour the work is small and constant. Courtyard and terrace bases, step and threshold pours, small structural bases inside converted buildings, and garden work behind properties that were never designed to be reached from anywhere but the front.

On the Shorncliffe land the same service is the ordinary part-load business: a shed or garden building base, a set of posts, a path, a small footing on a plot where a full mixer could have come but the load would be mostly wasted.

Getting as close as the lanes allow

Folkestone poses the sharpest version of the mini-mix question in east Kent, because the answer somewhere in this town is that no vehicle gets near at all.

The descent from the cliff top zig-zags on roads built for very different traffic, and in the creative quarter some lanes are stepped and cobbled. Those take no vehicle at any size, so the honest sequence is to get the smallest sensible vehicle to the last point it can hold, and then move the concrete by barrow or by hose.

Before the day, measure the narrowest point on the approach including gateposts and pinches between parked cars, note anything overhead, and establish whether the standing ground is load-bearing. Then measure the distance from that point to the pour, because even a smaller vehicle discharges down a chute with a limited reach, and on a stepped route the answer is a line pump rather than more trips.
