Concrete pumping in Canterbury
If you are working on a property inside the Canterbury walls, a pump is how the concrete gets there without the vehicle having to, which is the only way a pour of any size happens inside a timed pedestrian zone. Kent Readymix arranges concrete pumping across Canterbury.

Letting the concrete travel instead of the lorry
That is the whole argument inside the walls, and it is a different argument from every other town’s. The bollarded pedestrian zone means a vehicle either arrives inside its window or it does not arrive, and the medieval lanes limit where anything can stand and for how long.
A line pump run from a permitted standing position outside the restriction changes the shape of the problem. The machine and the mixer sit where they are allowed to sit, hose runs into the lanes, and the pour is continuous rather than parcelled into whatever fits the window. On a floor or a foundation, that is the difference between a sound element and one with an unplanned joint in it.
On the campuses and the hospital sites the case is the ordinary commercial one, reach and continuity across a managed site.
Setting a pump up in and around Canterbury
The requirements are firm, level ground that will carry the machine on its outriggers, room to deploy them fully, which is wider than the vehicle, clear space for a mixer to reverse to the hopper, and overhead clearance, with power lines treated as an absolute exclusion.
Inside the walls a boom rarely finds room for the outrigger footprint, and conservation constraints limit what can be brought onto a frontage in any case, so the line pump is the machine. The useful work at enquiry is identifying where outside the restriction a machine could legitimately sit and what the hose route from there looks like.
On the campuses a boom sets up properly, and the checks become the ordinary ones: what is overhead, and whether a service run, culvert or drainage line sits under the standing position.
Placing a Canterbury pump enquiry
Send the volume, whether the pour is inside the walls, on a campus or on the fringes, the likely hose route, and any access window. 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.
